Menus and toolbars are completely customizable. You can—

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ add or remove menu and toolbar buttons and commands

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ add or remove toolbars and menus themselves

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ create new menus and toolbars

Any customization is saved permanently in the system registry and restored automatically next time SQL Navigator is run. The main menu bar (by default) contains the following menus. If these menus are not visible, you may need to reset your menus.

Menu synchronization

The commands that are available in all windows change as different types of objects and windows are selected or opened.

Database objects associated with an open window become "current" for the entire SQL Navigator development environment.

Whenever you open a database object (a table, procedure, function, index, and so on) in one of the following windows, SQL Navigator enables all the appropriate menu or toolbar commands for that object.

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ Find Objects

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ Code Search

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ Workspace

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ Describe tool

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ Visual object editors

$image\Sqln0004.gif$ Browse/Edit data

For example, when an object is open in an editing window, you can use the Locate in Schema command to jump to that object’s node in the DB Navigator tree, expanding all intermediate nodes and opening the object’s details.
