## The Context Menu

The "Context" is the set of operation you can use for the selected object in the object tree browser. You can use the alternative access to this menu by the right mouse button (for right handed mouse).

Not all operations are available for all database objects.

Context->Refresh Object Tree

  Enforce the refresh of the schema browser. Sqliteman should handle self-initialized changes in the schema automatically but you can use this option to promote changes made out of Sqliteman

Context->Detach Database

  Disconnect attached database from current session. See full Attach Database documentation.

Context->Create Table...

  Raise a dialog for table creation. You can use two ways to create table here. See full Create Table documentation

Context->Describe Table

  Show database physical information in the script output.

Context->Alter Table... (Ctrl+A)

  Raise a dialog for table changing. See full Alter Table documentation

Context->Rename Table...

  Allow to rename a table.

Context->Drop Table

  Really drop the table.

Context->Reindex

  Perform REINDEX command. If is it called against index there is only this index recreated. If is it called against the table then all indexes are recreated.
