Rename

Rename the selected object.

Rename Object

Drop

Remove the selected object from the database.

To disable the Drop command: View | Preferences | General | "Drop" and "Truncate" safety options

(Oracle 10g and later): A recycle bin is available for handling and restoring dropped objects. You can use DB Navigator to retrieve objects dropped from the database. See also Find Recycle Bin Objects Dialog.

Drop with Purge

Remove the selected object from the database permanently. Do not place the object in the Recycle Bin.

Compile

Compile/Rebuild the selected object.

Menu Icon Menu Name More Information
Compile/Rebuild Compile the selected object.

Compile Dependents

Compile dependents of the selected object.

This eliminates the need to find and compile all dependent objects that became invalid when altering a procedure, table, or other structure.

Compile Dependencies Compile dependencies of the selected object.

See also Task Manager, Code Editor.

Watch for feedback in the Output Window. If the object compiles with errors, open it in the Code Editor and compile to make use of the Code Editor's error handling facilities.

If the object has been modified, you will need to save it before you can compile it. This is to ensure that the changes in the object have been applied to the database.

Execute

Execute the selected stored program and display the results in the PL/SQL Execution Console.

SQL Modeler

Open the selected object in SQL Modeler.

Scenario Example: Select a table in DB Navigator. Open the table in SQL Modeler. Build a query by selecting and dragging columns.

Quick Browse

Execute the SQL query for the selected table object in the Code Editor to view chained rows information.

See Quick Browse, SQL Query Results Data Grid

Edit Data

Execute the SQL query for the selected table object in the Code Editor with Updateable switched on.

See Edit Data, SQL Query Results Data Grid

Analyze

View and collect statistics, validate structure and list chained rows for database structures such as tables, clusters and indexes.
