Overview

Overview

  1. After you log on to OceanBase Developer Center (ODC), click the name of the target connection on the ODC homepage to go to the corresponding connection management page.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Table to get a list of tables.

  3. Double-click the name of a table in the table list to go to the table management page.

  4. In the navigation bar at the top of the page, click Attribute to go to the Attribute tab. You can view the basic information, columns, indexes, constraints, partitions, and DDL attributes of the current table.

Basic information

Click Basic Information in the left-side navigation pane of the Attribute tab to view the basic information of the current table.

Parameter Description
Table Name Displays the name of the current table. You can rename the table here.
Default Character Set Displays the character set that the table uses.
Default Sorting Rule Displays the sorting rule that the table uses.
Description Displays the description that you specified when you created the table. You can also modify the table description here.
Owner Displays the database to which the table belongs.
Last Modified On Displays the date on which the table was last modified.
Row Data Volume Displays the number of rows in the table.
Size Displays the size of data in the table.

The basic information page provides the following icons.

Icon Description
Edit Click Edit to modify the basic information.
Refresh Click Refresh to refresh the basic information.
Export Click the Export icon in the upper-right corner to export the data in the table. For more information, see the topics about import and export in this manual.

Column information

Columns

Click Column in the let-side navigation pane of the Attribute tab to view the columns in the current table. On the Column tab, you can modify the name, length, nullability, and comment of a column.

The following table describes the icons provided in the toolbar.

Icon Description
Create Click + to add a field (or column) to the table.
Delete Click Delete to delete the selected field.
Refresh Click Refresh to refresh the field information.
Filter Click Filter in the Name or Type column to filter or search by a field.
Export Click the Export icon in the upper-right corner to export the data in the table. For more information, see the topics about import and export in this manual.

Note

  • You cannot set an auto-increment field in Oracle mode.
  • You can change a non-nullable column to be nullable, but you cannot change a nullable column to be non-nullable.
  • If the table does not contain an auto-increment column, you can add a column and set it as an auto-increment column.
  • The default value and an auto-increment value are mutually exclusive, and you can specify only one of them. You can specify a default value only for a column for which Virtual Column is not selected. A specified default value cannot be canceled.
  • You cannot modify a configured virtual column. You can add a column and set it to a virtual column.

Index information

4

Click Index in the left-side navigation pane of the Attribute tab to view the indexes in the current table.

On the Index tab, you can rename an index and make an index visible or invisible.

In ODC V4.2.2 and later, you can view whether an index is available. An index marked with the alert icon index is unavailable.

The following table describes the icons provided in the toolbar.

Icon Description
Create Click + to add an index to the table.
Delete Click Delete to delete the selected index.
Refresh Click Refresh to refresh the index information.
Filter Click Filter in the Index Name, Scope, Method, or Type column to filter or search by a field.
Export Click the Export icon in the upper-right corner to export the data in the table. For more information, see the topics about import and export in this manual.

Constraint information

5

In the left-side navigation pane of the Attribute tab, click the Constraint tab and view the constraints on the current table.

On the Constraint tab, you can add or delete UNIQUE and CHECK constraints. You cannot modify existing objects.

The following table describes the icons provided in the toolbar.

Icon Description
Create Click + to add a constraint to the table.
Delete Click Delete to delete the selected constraint.
Refresh Click Refresh to refresh the constraint list.
Filter Click Filter to filter or search by a field.
Export Click the Export icon in the upper-right corner to export the data in the table. For more information, see the topics about import and export in this manual.

Note

  • The icons provided vary with the constraint method. If an icon is dimmed out or not present in the navigation bar, it means that the constraint method does not support the corresponding action.
  • You can query the ALL_CONSTRAINTS view for FOREIGN KEY constraints in OceanBase Database in Oracle mode, and query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE table for FOREIGN KEY constraints in OceanBase Database in MySQL mode since V2.2.6.
  • OceanBase Database supports constraint checking only in Oracle mode.

Partition information

6

In the left-side navigation pane of the Attribute tab, click the Partition tab and view the name, sequence, partitioning method, expression (or the partitioning key in Oracle mode), upper limit of the range, and enumeration value of each partition. Here the partitioning method is the one specified when the table was created. The displayed partition information varies based on the partitioning method. The following table describes the icons provided in the toolbar.

Icon Description
Delete Click Delete to delete the selected partition and destroy the data in the partition.
Refresh Click Refresh to refresh the partition list.
Filter Click Filter to filter or search by a partition name, sequence, or upper limit of the range.
