Adding a Table

In the Getting Started tutorial, the third task you must do using the plug-in is to add a table.

A Table shared resource represents a table. To use the ActiveSpaces DataGrid activities, you must create a datagrid connection and then add a table to the datagrid.
Note: Instead of adding a table, you can import an existing table. To import a table, in the DataGrid Configuration panel, click Import and select the table name from the table list.

Prerequisites

You must create a datagrid connection as described in Creating a DataGrid Connection in the project.

Procedure

  1. Select the datagrid, which is now located in the Project panel.
  2. Click the ActiveSpaces DataGrid palette icon in the Palettes panel, and drag the Table icon to the Design panel. Or, right-click and select Add Resource > ActiveSpaces DataGrid > Table from the drop-down menu.
    The table gets added under the datagrid in the Project panel.

  3. In the Configuration panel, specify the table parameters. See Table Connection Parameters.
  4. Click Apply to apply the table parameters.

What to do next

After you have added a table, the next task is to configure a process. See the Getting Started tutorial.
