Customizing the Class Browser of the Current Schema

A schema view enables you to optionally customize the Class Browser of the current schema to display only the required classes in the Schema Views Class Browser.

You can select the display of classes from any schema in the hierarchy; for example, selected classes from the current schema and any of its superschemas.

You can use the Class Browser of your schema view interchangeably with the default Class Browser. To quickly navigate from the default Class Browser to a Class Browser for a defined schema view, right-click on the Browse Classes toolbar button (if the selected schema view has been set as the current view).

For details about extracting and loading a schema view, see "Extracting a Schema View" or "Loading Your Schema", in Chapter 10.

To open a Schema Views Browser window

Select the Schema Views command from the Browse menu

A Schema Views Browser window is then opened.

If you have not yet defined a schema view, nothing is displayed in the Schema Views Browser.

The Schema Views Browser enables you to maintain your schema views only. To view the classes in a schema view (and their associated properties and methods), you must open a Class Browser for the current schema view.
