Using Menus

While the rest of the Data Dictionary interface widgets allow you to work with objects, the menus on the menu bar allow you to control the application and work with whole databases. There are also some menu options that duplicate the function of other widgets in the main display. Table 4–1 provides a brief description of the menus available in the Data Dictionary.
