The left pane of the Relational Design Center window displays a tree view of servers and databases. The view displays the schema of a database organized by structure and data items within a structure. The tree view contains nodes for the tables, columns, indexes, and views of the database.
| Note: | When the Relational Design Center is reopened, the database nodes do not expose the underlying structures. To expose the underlying structures, you must right-click the database and choose Open Database from the shortcut menu. |
The Relational Design Center uses icons in the tree view to represent the different objects in the tree view. The following table describes the icons that appear in the Relational Design Center Utility window.
