Model View

The primary purpose of the Model view is model exploration and to function as an alternative launching point for object and property editors. The Model view lists all the object types that appear in the current data model. The object types that are displayed here are based on the model type and the target server.

For example, if the model type is Logical, the Model Explorer does not include physical objects such as a view. Similarly, if the model type is Physical, the Model Explorer does not include logical objects. If the target server is Oracle, then objects specific to Oracle such as Clusters are displayed.

The following types of objects are not displayed in the Model Explorer:

• Minor objects that are included in the parent object editor. For example, a Valid Value object is created, deleted, and edited by the Validation Rule Editor.
• An object that represents configuration information, created for an internal process, and is not actual model data. For example, as a Complete Compare Option Set.
