Understanding Explorer
Use Explorer to select and browse database structures stored in FastDB. Explorer supports browsing of multiple database objects, such as databases, tables, and columns. Explorer also supports refreshing the list of database names, viewing properties of a selected table and viewing properties of a selected column, using the features shown in Figure 4‑2.
