Working with relationship views and filters
When visualizing data objects and their relationships, the Data Visualizer perspective includes a view with Objects and Relationships tabs.
The Objects tab lists the following for each object in the data source:
- object ID
- Group ID
- Type
- Creator/Schema
- Table/DSN
The Relationships tab lists:
- ID
- Group ID
- Parent Source
- Parent Creator/Schema
- Parent Table/DSN
- Parent Column
- Dependent Source
- Dependent Creator/Schema
- Dependent Table/DSN
- Dependent Column
- Name
- Type
A search field on each tab can be used to locate items by shortening the list displayed.
The Data Visualizer perspective also includes a filter view with Object Filters and Relationship Filters tabs. You can create and save filters used to exclude objects and relationships from the corresponding Objects and Relationships tabs. Saved filters can be disabled, enabled, and deleted. Because each Filters tab is paired with its corresponding Objects or Relationships tab, selecting one automatically selects the other.
