Re: importing table dump from another machine

[Mike Lischke]

Hi Monte,

when you run a script in the SQL IDE that adds or removes db objects (and yes the more general term "schema" is what others name "database") you won't see those changes automatically. Instead you have to manually refresh the object listing (see context menu of the catalog treeview). This is to avoid lengthy refresh operations on slow connections or with many objects.

A better way to load a dump is however to use the WB Administration part. On the home screen create a server instance (see right column) and open it (double click the entry in the list after you created it). Go to the "Data Dump" tab and there on the "Import from Disk" tab.
