Multi-table operations
In the Database
view, there is a checkbox next to each table name and a drop-down menu under the table list. This enables us to quickly choose some tables and perform an operation on all those tables at once. Here, we select the book-copy and the book tables, and choose the Check table operation for the selected tables as shown in the following screenshot:
We could also quickly select or deselect all the checkboxes with Check All / Uncheck All option.
