Modifying Occurring Items

Note: This task applies only to an Enterprise Database Server database that is mapped to SQL.

Perform the following steps to modify occurring items:

  1. From the tree view, expand the server containing the database you want to modify.

  2. Expand the database you want to modify, and expand the Tables node representing each data set in the database.

  3. Expand the Occurring Items node to display each occurring item or group.

    An occurring item or an occurring group appears as a separate, normalized table to SQL.

  4. From the tree view, select the name of the desired occurring item or group.

  5. Double-click the value for the Occurring Item Table Name property, and type a name to identify the SQL table that contains the occurring item or occurring group.

  6. (Optional) Double-click the value for the Occurrence Index Column Name property, and type a name for the column representing the occurrence index for the occurring item table.

    If you do not specify a name, the column name is the name of the occurring item or occurring group table with a suffix of _INX.

  7. If you want the occurrence index to be a required column and a not null column, select the Occurrence Index Is REQUIRED check box.

  8. Select the Ignore check box to make the occurring item or occurring group inaccessible to SQL queries. Otherwise, leave the check box cleared.
