Refresh an existing map

When a Database Navigator Map is created, it is a snapshot of the objects, their statistics, and relationships at a particular point in time. As time passes, it is likely that the object statistics and relationships will change. The refresh function allows you to refresh the data being represented in the map. During the refresh, all data for each object must be verified, therefore, the refresh could take time to process. Also, when the map is refreshed, the objects may be rearranged and objects that were taken out of the map using the Remove command may reappear.

To refresh an existing map:

  1. With a map open in the Database Navigator window, select Refresh from the View menu.
