The table with blue header is normal mysql table, while the one with yellow header is view table. I used reversed engineering to import these tables into mysql workbench and trying to place relationship among them using existing columns, but I can't expand and see the columns of view table.
It is the limitation of mysql workbench, or actually it is possible to expand the view table? If it is able to expand, can someone please guide me on this?
Thanks!!
This is currently a limitatiion and, to my surprise, not something that people requested in the past. If you like you can open a feature request at http://bugs.mysql.com to get this implemented.

Hi I'm super new to postgresql and I am trying to view data from just one column of my table. However, all the things I've found online so far are about viewing all the content available in the table. Is there any way to view the entries of just one column?
i'm using Crystal Reports with my ERP-System. There have been predefined reports i now want to change.
In the field-explorer are some tables which have been renamed for better readability. But those tables are missing some fields, i want to use. If i connect the whole table again, all fields are there. Is there a way to display all fields in the predefined tables.
I tried to refresh the Database but nothing changes. If i delete the predefined table and then rename the new one to the old one, so i can use all predefinded formulas, all used fields in the report get deleted. I would need to recreate the whole report then.
Thanks for the help
If it is truly the same table and is not showing all the fields then you need to do "Database > Verify Database". That will force CR to refresh the structure of the table (instead of just the data). If this doesn't add the missing fields then the table in the report is actually a different object.
To see what the table/view the report is actually using go to "Database > Set DataSource Location" and look at the properties node for that table. It will show if it is a table/view/SP and what the true object name is.
If you want to replace the existing table with a different table you go to "Database > Set DataSource Location" again. Highlight the existing table in the top window, connect and highlight the replacement table in the bottom window. Then click update. Crystal will replace one table with the other and all of the fields in the report that exist in the new table will be mapped automatically. Note that the new table will keep the alias of the original table. If you are unsure if the table was updated you can look at the properties node in the top window to see the change.
I'm using Filemaker Pro 12 and I was wondering if there is a way of creating a template for tables. There are a number of fields I'm placing in my tables that are identical utility-fields like modification time-stamp, active/inactive flags, etc. I was hoping there was a way that I could define the skeleton of each table somehow instead of having to manually add these identical fields every time.
If you are using the Advanced version, you can copy&paste fields among tables/files.
Using the regular version, you can import records from your "default" table and specify [New Table...] as the target table. This will recreate the source table's structure in the target file. The source table does not have to contain any records for this to work.
To expand a little bit on michael-hor257k's answer, if you're using FileMaker Pro Advanced, a good practice is to create a "Default" table that has your core utility fields. When you want to make a new table in Manage Database, instead:
Highlight the Default table,
Copy & Paste the table, then
Rename the new table.
It is more of an annoyance rather than real issue: when in Crystal reports you change the data source to one with different name (and do all the linking old columns to new columns) all the table names in Field explorer and (obviously) in formulas are changed. But the Database expert still shows the old table/view name!
Let me show this on example: Lets say I change TABLE_1 with column EQUIPMENT to VIEW_1 with column UNIT. Via the datasource location I can do the substitution and link old column EQUIPMENT to new one - UNIT.
But when I check either Datasource location or database expert it will be still showing old TABLE_1 (if you check the columns in the link tab you will notice that the TABLE_1 has now column UNIT instead of EQUIPMENT).
This can be quite annoying and frankly bit dangerous, especially if you return to report after a longer while. Is there somewhere a setting that allows to autoupdate table names in the database expert?
When you create the report it will create tables and each table will be linked to a datasource table. So the report table will have a name and datasource , which might be the same. When you change the datasource the datasource of the table will be updated but the report table name will remain the same. Think about this name as an alias. It might differs from th datasource name if you use the same table multiple times
I don't think there is auto update option in crystal reports but one thing you can do is to use Verify Database option under Database tab whenever you update the tables.
You need to manually edit table names in Database expert, there's no automatic way (and like Lan already answered, it is generally not possible).
I have a 2-column SWT Table that uses TableViewer. Trouble is that I can only select (and edit) cells in the first column -- clicking on the second column does nothing.
I read from somewhere (lost the link) that there's no easy way to get such functionality (!) -- you're supposed to mess around with several extra concepts if you want to select (and edit) different columns in your table.
This snippet
(http://www.goneeded.com/snippet/eclipse/JFace/Viewers/Snippet035TableCursorCellHighlighter.html)
seems to be relevant, but it's not clear which part of it is necessary and it has depenendencies to other snippets. I tried to get it working but it did nothing.
Seems that new table editing and cell-selecting features were added in Eclipse 3.3 -- is there a tutorial or smth available on how to use them? The snippets are too cryptic for me.
You should be able to edit and select cells independently. You might have the SWT.FULL_SELECTION style bit set on the Table constructor. That forces every selection to span the whole row instead of a single cell.
I'd check out this tutorial for more on TableViewers:
