What are titles

The purpose of many database objects changes as database evolves. However, you don't have to change the names of tables or other objects. Dataedo gives you the ability to add meaningful titles to most objects. This title will be added after the name on export. For instance: invoices_tab (Documents).

Titles are optional.

Tables/Views/Procedures/Functions

You can define a title for each table, view, procedure or function. You can do it in the Title field on object's form. Press Save button or Ctrl+S keys to save changes.

Table title

If you need to assign many titles at once it's more convenient to do it in a objects table. Select Tables folder in tree navigator to change tables titles. Update Title column of desired tables. Changes are saved instantly.
