  • Patent number: 6842878
    Abstract: Logical relationships between objects are displayed using a graphical interface tree component. In a data base application, by selecting and expanding a table node, user can see those views and indexes which are directly related to the table, but not contained within the table, i.e., where there is no physical connection, but there are logical connections (relations). With context menus, the user can make changes in place.
