USING ER/STUDIO > COMMON TASKS
Definition tab
Enter or edit a definition for the view. If the target database supports it, ER/Studio adds this definition as a view
comment when generating SQL code.
Notes tab
Add notes about the view that you can format using HTML tags that are processed when creating an HTML
Report of the model.
Where Used tab
Shows where the view is used according to definitions you set.
Dependencies tab
Create, edit or delete any scripted procedures that are bound to the view. If any procedures or functions are
bound the view, the folder is expandable. Double-click or right-click the view folder to access the view editor. For
information on creating procedures see Create an SQL Procedure and for information on creating functions, see
Add a Stored SQL Function.
PreSQL & PostSQL tab
Enter SQL to be applied before or after the CREATE OBJECT statement. The PreSQL and PostSQL scripts
entered here are included in the script when you generate the physical database.
Permissions tab
Sets access roles and user permissions for the view. Keep in mind that the more specific the permissions are,
the more time you may have to spend maintaining and updating them. The Roles and Users must be previously
assigned to appear in the View Editor. For more information, see Creating and Editing Database Roles and
Creating and Editing Database Users.
Security Information tab
Displays the current security information as defined in the Data Dictionary. You can add or edit security reporting
information in by double-clicking the field you want to change. To set the model-wide default value for a property,
go to the Data Dictionary tab and expand the Data Security Information Node. For more information, see
Enforcing Security Using Data Security Types and Properties.
Attachment Bindings tab
Binds an external piece of information or attachment to the database view. You can also remove an attachment
from an object, override an attachment binding’s default value, or change the position of a bound attachment. To
override the value of the attachment you have moved to the Selected Attachments grid, double-click the Value
field of the target attachment. ER/Studio displays the Value Override Editor or a list depending on the attachment
datatype. Attachments are created in the Attachments folder of the Data Dictionary and must be applied to the
view before they will display on this tab. For more information, see Attaching External Documents to the Data
Model.
