and manage actions on the database objects that are in the flat folders
for a database that is displayed in the Administration Explorer.

List, complete the following steps:

down to and expand the contents of the database that you want to work
with.

you want to work with. For example, click the Tables folder.

the list of the objects for the object type that you chose are displayed.
A title in the top left of Object List provides a label to indicate
what type of objects are being displayed.

it to display the context-sensitive menu of available actions.
To work with multiple objects of the same type, select the
objects and then right-click to display the context-sensitive menu.
Tip: To easily find an object, you can enter characters in the Name
Like field. When you use the Name Like field,
only the objects that meet your specified criteria are displayed.
The Name Like field is not case sensitive.

and use one or more underscore (_) characters to match a single character.
- On the context-sensitive menu, click the action that you
want to do. For example, click Alter to
start the process to change the object.
