In Microsoft® Visual InterDev™, Visual J++™, Visual C++®, and Visual Basic®, the Data View window displays live editable data from any databases to which you've made a data connection. For each data connection, the Data View window displays the database objects for that database under the database connection node as shown in the figure below.
Data View provides a graphical means of organizing your database objects, including database diagrams, tables, views, triggers, and stored procedures. By double-clicking, dragging and dropping, and using the right-click features, you can open, create, and edit your database objects.
Note Some databases have objects different from those identified here. For more information about the database objects available in your database, see Database Server Considerations and consult your database documentation.
In addition, there are some differences between the Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual InterDev, and Visual J++ environments. These have been noted when significant throughout the Visual Database Tools documentation.
The following table provides links to topics specific to the Data View window as well as more detailed topics for each task listed.
