tables Command—Start the Tables Program
The tables command starts the Tables program, a forms-based interface for creating, destroying and examining tables. For more information on the Tables utility, see the Character-based Querying and Reporting Tools User Guide.
The tables command has the following format:
tables dbname|vnode::dbname[/server_class][-e] [-uusername] [-Ggroupid]
dbname
Specifies the name of the database, and if required, the vnode and server_class, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters (see page Standard Flags and Parameters).
-e
Invokes the tables program in empty mode. The catalog is initially displayed empty, so that the user can enter specific names of database objects.
-uusername
Specifies the effective user for the session, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters (see page Standard Flags and Parameters).
-Ggroupid
Specifies a group identifier, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters (see page Standard Flags and Parameters).
On VMS, enclose this parameter in double quotation marks ("-Ggroupid").
