Editing a Database
Data View displays external data linked to drawing objects. You can edit a
table in the Data View as you would any database table. You can add or delete
records, or edit a record's values. You can also search a particular column for
occurrences of a specific value.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. If you have joined data to
geospatial features
(page 507), use the Data Table to view that information.
To edit values in a table in Data View, you must have the proper user
authorizations, and you must open the table in Edit mode. See Opening a
Database Table
(page 1052).
You can add records only to the end of a table. You cannot insert a record
elsewhere in a table.
Undoing an Edit
While you are still in the record, use Undo and Redo to affect the last change
you made to the current record.
WARNING Be careful when deleting records. Undo does not restore a deleted
record. Your data is deleted permanently.
AutoCommit
AutoCAD Map 3D automatically saves (commits) your changes to the database
as soon as your cursor leaves the record.
If you do not want edits saved automatically, turn off AutoCommit for this
data source.
When AutoCommit is off, you can manually commit your changes. If you do
not manually commit your changes, AutoCAD Map 3D commits the changes
when you close all Data View windows for that data source or disconnect the
data source.
To use Replace, you must open the table in Edit mode and turn AutoCommit
off.
