Imported SQL Editor Dialog Box
You can use the Imported SQL Editor dialog box to create and edit imported SQLs in a catalog. This topic describes the options in the dialog box.
Designer displays the Imported SQL Editor dialog box when you do one of the following:
- In the Catalog Manager, right-click a JDBC connection node and select Add SQL from the shortcut menu.
- In the Catalog Manager, right-click an imported SQL under the Imported SQLs node and select Update from the shortcut menu.
