JDesignerPro Select a Table
[Back]
The purpose of the Select a Table screen is to allow you to choose the table in the data source from which to select fields for display. Currently the JDesignerPro Screen Builder allows one table at a time to be referenced per screen. However, in the final JDP interface, each of several screens could connect to a different tables.

When you click the Select a Table tab, the screen will load and automatically display the available tables in the chosen data source. The tables will appear in the Result List on the left.

The steps are:

  1. Double click a table name in the primary list. It's details will appear in the fields. None of the fields on this screen are editable.
  2. Single click the required tables in the secondary list.
  3. Enter the required join conditions for the selected tables by using the column pulldowns and the "Add" and "Remove" buttons.
  4. The Selected Data Source field simply shows the data source selected in the previous screen.
  5. The path of the table appears in the DataBase/Qualifier field.
  6. The Owner field shows the ownership account for that table.
  7. The Remarks field displays remarks returned by ODBC when the table was located, if any are found.
  8. Once you have made your selections, press the Accept button.

Now that you have selected a table, click the Select Columns tab.
