In a world where data must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, database

'he appli!ation provides a simple (raphi!al user intera!e, throu(h whi!h users !an lo( in,
view e2istin( data ob+e!ts, !reate new data ob+e!ts, and a!!ess a subset o the $%& $erver

Note 'his sample appli!ation !ontains only basi! error handlin( un!tionality.
Setting Permissions

$u!!essul lo(in brin(s you to the main s!reen. 7ou !an !reate and view server lo(ins
without sele!tin( a database, but i you want to perorm database"spe!ii! a!tions involvin(
tables or stored pro!edures, you must sele!t a database.
'o !reate a lo(in, on the Create menu !li!k Login.
Ater you enter the lo(in inormation, a list bo2 appears, displayin( the names o the
databases ound on that server instan!e. 'o add user permissions to an individual database,
sele!t the database in that list and then !onirm the !hoi!e in the dialo( bo2 that appears.
'he appli!ation automati!ally adds DB8DD&AD)I, and DB8DA'A9:I'1: permissions to
the !hosen database. 'hese permissions allow users to !reate and modiy new tables as
well as view and edit data in e2istin( tables.
'o view e2istin( lo(ins, !li!k Logins on the View menu. 'o delete a lo(in, sele!t it in the list
bo2, and then !onirm your !hoi!e.
Viewing Existing Data Objects

Ater the user has been (iven the !orre!t permissions, e2istin( tables and stored pro!edures
within that database are available throu(h the View menu. 'he stored pro!edures
themselves !annot be modiied, but the !olumns within a !hosen table !an be seen and

Ater you sele!t a table, two buttons appear, oerin( a !hoi!e to add a new !olumn or to view
e2istin( !olumns. /li!kin( A Column !auses several ields to appear on the orm in whi!h
the basi! properties o a new !olumn !an be set. (*nly the properties re#uired or the

you sele!t a !olumn, ields appear, !ontainin( the e2istin( !olumn properties.
Note It is not possible to modiy e2istin( !olumn properties usin( this appli!ation.
Creating New Data Objects

7ou !an also !reate new data ob+e!ts rom this intera!e. 3or e2ample, to !reate a new table
