Explore - Tables Tab

The Tables tab inventories every SQL table referenced in the project. Architects and business analysts often use it to see which programs touch a shared table and how heavily each table is used.

Table grid

Each row is one table. Typical information includes:

• Number of fields on the table
• Number of modules that interact with it

Search by table name to find a specific entity quickly.

Table detail

Select a table to see how the codebase uses it. The layout mirrors module-centric views but centers the table:

• Reads and writes (and other actions) listed per module
• Which program performs each action—critical when many modules share one table
• Fields associated with the table, with links into the Fields tab

From a field or action row, you can open the module that performs the work or the variable that carries the data in COBOL.
