3. Select the desired data source in the Connections box. The tables list in the Tables box updates
accordingly. The update might take a several seconds, depending on the number of tables and the speed
of the connection to the database. If your database supports schemas, tables are loaded for the first
schema in the list, and on other schemas as you click on them.
4. Control which tables are listed by choosing the options in the Include in Table List group of
check boxes. Different drivers interpret these labels differently. Your options are as follows:
User Tables When clicked, displays all available user tables in the Tables list. User tables are specific
to which user is logged on to the computer.
Views When clicked, displays “views” in the Tables list along with all other file types that can be
opened. “Views” are virtual tables that are query result sets updated each time you open them. They are
used to extract and combine information from one or more tables.
System Tables When clicked, displays all available system tables in the Tables list. System tables are
tables that can be used by all users or by a system-wide service.
Synonyms When clicked, displays all available ORACLE synonyms in the Tables list.
5. Select the desired table from the Tables list.
Note: If you are connected to a dBase database, select the database folder to which you would like to
connect. Individual files are grayed out and cannot be selected.
6. Click Open Table to import all the data in the selected table, or click Advanced to specify a subset of
the table to be imported.
Note: Some databases require that you enter the user ID and password to access the data.
