The graphical browsing capabilities visualize the structure and dependency of the database schema with a click of the mouse.

The visual editor also provides an SQL preview of the commands it will execute.

The graphical browser allows the extraction of structure definition of all schema objects and thus the SQL DDL and DML statements for the schema objects in script form (for tables, views , triggers, stored procedures and functions).
