| The program has some settings and
options aided to make your work more comfortable. Don't forget to
press "Save" button in "Settings" dialog to save the settings you
chose.
The most important settings are:
- "Standard splitters mode" - in this mode the window with the
edit form is located under the record
list. The alternative value of a parameter corresponds to the way
they are arranged in two columns. Important: you will have to
restart the program to change this parameter.
- "Ask for update table without Primary Key" - the program
displays a warning if you are editing a table having no primary
key.
- "Enable to edit values for Primary Keys" - if this option is
disabled, the program won't let you edit the value of those fields
that are the primary key.
- "Ask before record deletion" - enable/disable a warning before
deleting record
- "Allow to edit migrated by FK values" - if you disable this
option, the program will allow you to select a value for a linked
field only from its list
- "Show VIEWs (SYSTEM TABLEs) in object tree" - show in the list of objects not only
tables, but also views (system tables)
- "Add connection information as root item" - if you disable this
option, the program will not add the root item with the connection
information to the tree.
- "Show SQL statements before
execution" - if you enable this option, the program will display
the created SQL statement and offer you to modify it before adding,
updating or deleting the record.
- "Allow to edit identity/counter fields" option allows you to
edit the value of fields generated automatically (such as counter).
Important: setting these values manually may cause problems in
updating the data.
- "Non-specified value in new record is NULL" - if this value is
set, all NULLable fields in a blank edit form will have the NULL
value. If it is not set, they will be filled with empty strings for
text fields and 0's for numeric fields. The default values will
also be inserted in the form in this case.
- "Table size warning at" - you can specify the number of lines
in the table for the corresponding message to be displayed if it is
exceeded.
You can specify the maximum number of values (0 means always, -1
means never) in the linked table when a combo box with values
should be created. If there are more values in the table than you
specify, the edit control will be used instead.
The program can save the history of changes made in it to the
file with SQL statements. It happens if you specify the correct
file name in the "Save edition log to SQL file" field.
