Toad for DB2 7.4 - Installation Guide

Database Explorer

Use the Database Explorer to view database objects across multiple databases or serversin your DB2 for LUW database or DB2 for z/OS subsystem. The Database Explorer contains the following panes:

  • Object List pane (left side)—Displays the object types available. The available object types vary based on the database version you are using. To access functionality that manages objects, use the toolbar across the top of the pane or right-click objects.

  • Object Details pane (right side)—Displays drill-down information for the object selected in the Objects pane.

Troubleshooting: If you cannot see all your schemas or objects in the list, make certain that any filters are cleared.

To open the Database Explorer

  1. Select Tools | Database Explorer.
  2. The Database Explorer opens displaying details for the selected database.
  3. Select an object in the left pane to display details in the right pane.
  4. You can select another schema to view, or you can filter the list of objects. Review the following for additional information:

    Schema (first field)

    Select the schema you want to view. You can filter the list of schemas that display. See Filter Databases and Objects for more information.

    Object Filter (second field)
