Table Explorer View

Every table from the Data Source Explorer view can be displayed and edited in the Table Explorer view by pressing the Edit button from the contextual menu or by double-clicking one of its fields. To modify a cell's content, double click it and start typing. When editing is finished, Oxygen XML Author will try to update the database with the new cell content.

The Table Explorer View

You can sort the content of a table by one of its columns by clicking on its column header.

Note the following:

For performance issues, you can set the maximum number of cells that will be displayed in the Table Explorer view ( the Limit the number of cells field from the Data Sources Preferences page). If a table having more cells than the value set in Oxygen XML Author 's options is displayed in the Table Explorer view, a warning dialog will inform you that the table is only partially shown.

You will be notified if the value you have entered in a cell is not valid (and thus it cannot be updated).

The usual edit actions (Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All, Undo, Redo) are available in the popup menu of the edited cell.

The contextual menu available on every cell has the following actions:

Some of the above actions are also available on the Table Explorer toolbar:
