Expand and collapse a table in a map

Expanding a table icon in your Database Navigator Map allows you to view essential data about the table. The data that appears in the expanded node is a subset of the data that can be acquired by viewing Table Definition. When the table is expanded, table column data appears on the Columns tab, while the Index tab shows key data about the indexes that are over this table.

  4. Double-click the map that you want to work with.
