Summary
You can view and edit database tables, execute structured query language
(SQL) queries, and link table records to graphical objects. By default, the
dbConnect Manager opens as a docked window on the left side of the drawing
area.
When you open the dbConnect Manager, a small red X is displayed in the
lower right corner of each database and data object. The X indicates that these
objects are currently unconnected. To connect to a database or data object,
double-click it in the dbConnect Manager.
