ddbicon.pngDDBuilder: Inserting Columns into a Data Dictionary (Superseded)

DDBuilder has been superseded by the BASIS DBMS Data Dictionary module accessible from the BASIS IDE or the Enterprise Manager. Recommended for usage with ODBC/JDBC access to PRO/5, Visual PRO/5, BBj application data. DDBuilder is no longer included in the BBj download package as of version 12.0 but can be downloaded with Visual PRO/5.

To insert a column into the data dictionary, do the following:

  1. In the tree view, click the column that occupies the position above the location for the new column.

  2. Insert the new column by doing one of the following:

    • On the Edit menu, select Insert.

    • Right-click to display the context-sensitive menu, and select Insert.

    • On the toolbar, click the Insert button: insert.png

  3. The column then appears, displaying a default name such as COLUMN2. To enter a new name, click the element, enter a name that complies with the DDBuilder naming conventions, then either press Enter or click the mouse outside of the tree view.
