<p>To view or modify data, right click on a table or view name in the
<em>Object Explorer</em>. When the context menu opens, use the <em>View/Edit Data</em> menu
to specify the number of rows you would like to display in the editor panel.</p>
<img alt="Edit grid window" class="align-center" src="_images/editgrid.png" />
<p>To modify the content of a table, each row in the table must be uniquely
identifiable. If the table definition does not include an OID or a primary key,
the displayed data is read only. Note that views cannot be edited; updatable
views (using rules) are not supported.</p>
<p>The editor features a toolbar that allows quick access to frequently used
options, and a work environment divided into two panels:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>The upper panel displays the SQL command that was used to select the content
displayed in the lower panel.</p></li>
<li><p>The lower panel (the Data Grid) displays the data selected from the table or
view.</p></li>
</ul>

are actually different operating modes of the same tool. Some controls will be
disabled in either mode. Please see
<a class="reference internal" href="query_tool_toolbar.html#query-tool-toolbar"><span class="std std-ref">The Query Tool Toolbar</span></a> for a description of the
available controls.</p>
</section>
<section id="the-data-grid">
<span id="data-grid"></span><h2>The Data Grid<a class="headerlink" href="#the-data-grid" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>The top row of the data grid displays the name of each column, the data type,
and if applicable, the number of characters allowed. A column that is part of
the primary key will additionally be marked with [PK].</p>
<p>To modify the displayed data:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>To change a numeric value within the grid, double-click the value to select
the field. Modify the content in the square in which it is displayed.</p></li>
<li><p>To change a non-numeric value within the grid, double-click the content to
access the edit bubble. After modifying the contentof the edit bubble, click
the <em>Ok</em> button to display your changes in the data grid, or <em>Cancel</em> to
exit the edit bubble without saving.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>To enter a newline character, click Ctrl-Enter or Shift-Enter. Newline
formatting is only displayed when the field content is accessed via an edit
bubble.</p>
<p>To add a new row to the table, enter data into the last (unnumbered) row of the
table. As soon as you store the data, the row is assigned a row number, and a
fresh empty line is added to the data grid.</p>
<p>To write a SQL NULL to the table, simply leave the field empty. When you store
the new row, the will server fill in the default value for that column. If you
store a change to an existing row, the value NULL will explicitly be written.</p>
<p>To write an empty string to the table, enter the special string ‘’ (two single
quotes) in the field. If you want to write a string containing solely two single
quotes to the table, you need to escape these quotes, by typing ''</p>
<p>To delete a row, press the <em>Delete</em> toolbar button. A popup will open, asking
you to confirm the deletion.</p>
<p>To commit the changes to the server, select the <em>Save Data</em> toolbar button.</p>
<p><strong>Geometry Data Viewer</strong></p>
<p>If PostGIS is installed, you can view GIS objects in a map by selecting row(s)
and clicking the ‘View Geometry’ button in the column. If no rows are selected,
the entire data set will be rendered:</p>
<img alt="Geometry Viewer Button" class="align-center" src="_images/geometry_viewer.png" />
<p>You can adjust the layout by dragging the title of the panel. To view the
properties of the geometries directly in map, just click the specific geometry:</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><em>Supported data types:</em> The Geometry Viewer supports 2D and 3DM geometries in
EWKB format including <cite>Point, LineString, Polygon MultiPoint, MultiLineString,
MultiPolygon and GeometryCollection</cite>.</p></li>
<li><p><em>SRIDs:</em> If there are geometries with different SRIDs in the same column, the
viewer will render geometries with the same SRID in the map. If SRID=4326 the
OSM tile layer will be added into the map.</p></li>
<li><p><em>Data size:</em> For performance reasons, the viewer will render no more than
100000 geometries, totaling up to 20MB.</p></li>
<li><p><em>Internet access:</em> An internet connection is required for the Geometry Viewer
to function correctly.</p></li>
</ul>

<p><strong>JSON Data Editor</strong></p>
<p>A built in json editor is provided for <em>JSON/JSONB Data</em>.Double clicking on json/jsonb
data type cell in data grid will open JSON Editor.Editor provides different mode to
view and edit json data.</p>
<img alt="Json Editor" class="align-center" src="_images/json_editor_modes.png" />

<p>A View/Edit Data tab can be converted to a Query Tool Tab just by editing the query. Once you start editing, it will ask if you really want to move away from View/Edit.</p>
<img alt="Promote View/Edit Data tab to Query Tool tab warning" class="align-center" src="_images/promote_view_edit_data_warning.png" />
<p>You can disable the dialog by selecting the “Don’t Ask again” checkbox. If you wish to resume the confirmation dialog, you can do it from “Prefrences -> Query Tool -> Editor -> Show View/Edit Data Promotion Warning?”</p>
<p>Once you chose to continue, you won’t be able to use the features of View/Edit mode like the filter and sorting options, limit, etc. It is a one-way conversion. It will be a query tool now.</p>
