DDB Contents Frame Operations
The Distributed Database Contents frame includes the following operations:
ObjAttr
Provides attribute information about the objects in the selected distributed database.
Browse
Allows you to look at a list of nodes and select a node. This list of nodes includes only those already used in the distributed database selected.
From the selected node, you can look at and select a local database. From the selected database, you can look at the tables and views in that local database. You can then select and register a table or view in your distributed database. (Registering Tables with StarView.)
You cannot use StarView to add a table from a node not yet in that distributed database (since StarView obtains the information from the iiregistered_objects catalog).
Remove
Removes the registration of tables or views from the selected distributed database (it does not drop the underlying table or view from the local database).
You cannot remove a table or view only a registration. To remove a table or view, you must exit StarView and use the drop statement.
Criteria
Restricts or extends the display of distributed database objects.
