Browsing A Database

Let's look into a simple database containing Pilot and Car objects. If you don't have such a db4o database - please, create one using any of the code in the examples. To open the database select Tools->Object Manager Enterprise->Connect (or use a shortcut button from the toolbar menu) and browse to your database file.

Once you've connected you will see a screen similar to this:

In this view you can see:

The db4o Browser window shows that there is 1 class in the database (Pilot), which contains 2 fields: name and points. In the Property Viewer you can see more information about the class fields. You can also change "Indexed" field and add the index to the database by pressing "Save Index" button.

The filter panel on the top of the view allows easier navigation through the database with lots of different classes. You can use wildcard searches and benefit from the search history to make the selection faster. To further improve the navigation experience, you can create favourite folders and drag&drop frequently used classes into these folders.
