Database Objects1.2 Database ObjectsYou can create, edit, and delete (drop) most types of objects in an Oracle database byusing the right-click menu in the Connections navigator or by clicking the Actionsbutton in the detail pane display. For some objects, you can do other operations, asappropriate for the object type.Note: The actions available from right-click menus and Actionsbuttons depend on the Oracle Database release number for thespecified database connection. If an action mentioned in the help isnot available with a connection, it may be that the feature was notavailable in that release of Oracle Database.1.2.1 Database Links1.2.2 DirectoriesRelated TopicsSQL Developer Concepts and UsageTutorial: Creating Objects for a Small DatabaseSupplementary Oracle Database InformationA database link is a database object in one database that enables you to access objectson another database. The other database need not be an Oracle Database system;however, to access non-Oracle systems you must use Oracle Heterogeneous Services.After you have created a database link, you can use it to refer to tables and views inthe other database. For help with specific options in creating a database link, seeCreate/Edit Database Link.You can perform the following operations on a database link by right-clicking thedatabase link name in the Connections navigator and selecting an item from the menu:■■Test: Validates the database link.Drop: Deletes the database link.A directory object specifies an alias for a directory (called a folder on Windowssystems) on the server file system where external binary file LOBs (BFILEs) andexternal table data are located. To create a directory (that is, a directory object), you canuse SQL Developer or the SQL statement CREATE DIRECTORY.You can use directory names when referring to BFILEs in your PL/SQL code and OCIcalls, rather than hard coding the operating system path name, for managementflexibility. All directories are created in a single namespace and are not owned by anindividual schema. You can secure access to the BFILEs stored within the directorystructure by granting object privileges on the directories to specific users.You can perform the following operations on a directory by right-clicking the directoryname in the Connections navigator and selecting an item from the menu:■■Rename: Renames the directory.Drop: Deletes the directory.1-6 SQL Developer Online Help
Database Objects1.2.3 Functions1.2.4 Indexes1.2.5 Materialized ViewsA function is a type of PL/SQL subprogram, which is a programming object that canbe stored and executed in the database server, and called from other programmingobjects or applications. (Functions return a value; procedures do not return a value.)For help with specific options in creating a PL/SQL subprogram, see Create PL/SQLFunction, Procedure, or Package.You can perform the following operations on a function by right-clicking the functionname in the Connections navigator and selecting an item from the menu:■■■■■■■■Open: Displays the function text so that you can view and edit it.Compile: Performs a PL/SQL compilation of the function.Compile with Debug: Performs a PL/SQL compilation of the procedure, withPL/SQL library units compiled for debugging.Run: Displays the Run/Debug PL/SQL dialog box, and then executes the functionin normal (not debug) mode.Debug: Displays the Run/Debug PL/SQL dialog box, and then executes thefunction in debug mode.Execution Profile: Displays the execution profile for the procedure.Rename: Renames the function.Drop: Deletes the function.An index is a database object that contains an entry for each value that appears in theindexed column(s) of the table or cluster and provides direct, fast access to rows.Indexes are automatically created on primary key columns; however, you must createindexes on other columns to gain the benefits of indexing. For help with specificoptions in creating an index, see Create/Edit Index.You can perform the following operations on an index by right-clicking the indexname in the Connections navigator and selecting an item from the menu:■■■■■Drop: Deletes the index.Rebuild Index: Re-creates the index or one of its partitions or subpartitions. If theindex is unusable, a successful rebuild operation makes the index usable. For afunction-based index, rebuilding also enables the index; however, if the functionon which the index is based does not exist, the rebuild operation fails.Rename Index: Changes the name of the index.Unusable Index: Prevents the index from being used by Oracle in executingqueries. An unusable index must be rebuilt, or dropped and re-created, before itcan be used again.Coalesce Index: Merges the contents of index blocks, where possible, to free blocksfor reuse.A materialized view is a database object that contains the results of a query. The FROMclause of the query can name tables, views, and other materialized views. Collectivelythese objects are called master tables (a replication term) or detail tables (a datawarehousing term). This reference uses "master tables" for consistency. The databasesSQL Developer Concepts and Usage 1-7
