|
| <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>

|
| <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>

|
| <li><p><em>SRIDs:</em> If there are geometries with different SRIDs in the same column, the
