Titles/aliases

What are titles

The purpose of many database objects changes as the database evolves. However, you don't have to change the names of tables or other objects. Dataedo gives you the ability to add meaningful titles to most objects. This title will be added after the name on export. For instance: invoices_tab (Documents).

Titles are optional.

Tables/Views/Procedures/Functions

You can define a title for each table, view, procedure, or function. You can do it in the Title field on the object's form. Press the Save button or Ctrl+S keys to save changes.

Table title

If you need to assign many titles at once, it's more convenient to do it in an objects table. Select the Tables folder in the tree navigator to change tables' titles. Update the Title column of the desired tables. Changes are saved instantly.
