If you have only one data source, DataGrip does not display the data source name in the tab name. If the data source has a name that is longer than 20 symbols, the name is truncated. For example, if you open two actor tables from different schemas, the schema name is added in the tab name. Tab names for objects are qualified if you open two tabs of objects with the same name. The Always show qualified names for database objects option is now turned off by default. The following rules are applied to long tab titles: In DataGrip, each table opens in a separate tab. You can see a reference on node and object icons in the Icons for data sources and their elements chapter of Database Explorer topic.įor the table column icons, refer to Possible icon combinations for columns. Tables can be seen in the Database Explorer. For more information about the view, see View data.
#POSTGRESQL ALTER TABLE USED BY VIEW WINDOWS#
When you double-click a table in the Database Explorer ( View | Tool Windows | Database Explorer), the table is opened in the editor in the Table view. With DataGrip, you can perform data manipulation and data definition operations with tables. The table has a specified number of columns, but can have any number of rows. Data in a table is stored in a cell that is an intersection of a vertical column and horizontal row. | | | FROM edb_rita_session_wait_history() t1(backend_id bigint, seq bigint, wait_name text, elapsed bigint, p1 bigint, p2 bigint, p3 bigint) įinally, if you decide you no longer need a VIEW, simply use the DROP VIEW command to remove it.A database table is a structure that organises data into rows and columns. Pg_catalog | session_wait_history | enterprisedb | SELECT t1.backend_id, +

| | | WHERE ((city_table.city)::text = ‘Bedford’::text) Public | customers_bedford | postgres | SELECT customer_table.first_name, + Schemaname | viewname | viewowner | definition One way to manage your VIEWs is to use “pg_views.” This will allow you to see all of the VIEWs that currently exist, who created them, the name of the VIEW, the schema they are in, and the definition. postgres=# alter view my_view rename to customers_bedford On the other hand, if you want to change the properties of the VIEW, such as the owner, or rename the VIEW, you can use the ALTER VIEW command.

If you want to change the query that is being used, you can use a modified version of the CREATE command: postgres=# create or replace view my_view as select first_name, last_name, email, city, country from customer, cityĬountry | character varying(50) | | | | extended | If you ever need to change an existing VIEW, the command you use depends on what you want to change. We can make VIEWs that pull information from other VIEWs as well, giving you even more flexibility over how you want to access your data. WHERE city_table.city::text = ’Bedford’::text Last_name | character varying(50) | | | | extended |Įmail | character varying(50) | | | | extended |Ĭity | character varying(50) | | | | extended | Once we’ve created a VIEW, we can look at the details of that view using the \d+ command: postgres=# \d+ my_viewĬolumn | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Description Then in the future, we can just call the VIEW itself: postgres=# select * from my_view

If this is a query that is run often, or we want to run a query that involves information that this query already involves, we can create a VIEW with this query: create view my_view as select first_name, last_name, email, city from customer_table, city_table where city=’Bedford’ Here, I have an example of a situation where I have two tables that I pull information from, “customer_table” and “city_table.” postgres=# select first_name, last_name, email, city from customer_table, city_table where city=’Bedford’ For example, if there’s a query that you run really often, and you don’t want to keep typing it, you can use a VIEW. This can be useful for a number of situations. However, once those tables are in place, you can use VIEWs to examine and use those tables’ data. A VIEW doesn’t replace a table-VIEWs require tables to pull information from them. There are also MATERIALIZED VIEWs, which are similar but slightly different, and we cover that here. A VIEW is a query that you give a name to so that you can reference it just like you would a table. PostgreSQL’s VIEW is a versatile tool for “viewing” the data in a database. It describes how a VIEW functions as a shortcut if calling the same query multiple times, then defines the following commands: SUMMARY: This article discusses VIEW in PostgreSQL.
