Refreshing a Database

Use the refresh database operation to cancel all local changes to views or fields you have made (saved or unsaved) since the last time you applied schema modifications or imported a relational schema.

The refresh database operation removes all unapplied schema modifications and resets the current Relational Design Center session state back to the last Apply Schema Modifications.

Note: The refresh database operation is available only to an Enterprise Database Server database and only after the database is opened. The refresh database operation is not available to SQL schema-generated databases.

Perform the following steps to refresh a database in the tree view:

  1. From the tree view, right-click the database you want to refresh, and click Refresh Database.

    The Refresh Database Status dialog box appears indicating that a refresh operation was performed.

  2. Click OK.
