Creating New Objects

You can create new databases and new database objects from the Object Explorer. You can create practically any object by selecting this object folder in the Explorer Tree view and selecting New from the popup menu.

Server Studio basic edition provides three graphical editors or wizards for databases, tables and synonyms. For other object types it uses SQL Editor to allow creation of the objects. Other graphical object editors might be available with Server Studio Add-On Modules. For more information about Server Studio extensions, see the Add-on Modules topic.
