The Database Export Panel

This panel is used to export database designs to supported databases.

The export panel is fairly similar to the Database Import Panel

The Export panel has most of the options that the Import Panel has, except that the Table Filter field is replaced with the Remove tables not in current Document

Remove tables not in current Document

When selected this option causes SQLEditor to remove any tables from the database that are not in the document being exported. Normally SQLEditor does not delete tables from the database. However any database operation that modifies the structure is potentially harmful and care should be taken.

Simulate Export

Selecting this option will make SQLEditor inspect the existing database and generate instructions to update it. However no updating instructions will actually be sent to the database. You can view the instructions that would have been sent in the Status Panel. See also The Status Panel
