Identifying metadata (table and column remarks)

Table and column remarks are used to provide information on specific tables and columns of interest. The remarks are setup and configured in the OCE database connection file and are customized to provide information to the user. The remarks are accessed by highlighting and right-clicking on the table or column of interest and selecting the Show Remarks menu option. A window appears with the remarks for the table or column.

If multiple remarks have been created for an object, the remarks appear with tabs to allow navigation between the different sets of information as shown in the following screenshot:

Note

If a remark does not exist, a window appears stating that a remark does not exist for the specified object.
