Altova DatabaseSpy 2024 Professional Edition

Viewing XML Schemas

Home Prev Top Next

In the Online Browser, all XML schemas belonging to particular database schema are displayed in the "XML Schemas" folder.

dbs_xml_schemas_01

If an XML schema has dependencies, the dependent schemas are displayed in a new "XML Schemas" folder nested under the parent schema.

 

All the XML schemas assigned to an XML column are displayed in the Online Browser in an "XML Schemas" sub-folder below the respective column. This way, you can see at a glance which XML schemas are used to validate the content of a particular XML column in the database.

dbs_xml_schemas_03

The properties of XML schemas can be viewed and—where possible—edited in the Properties window.

dbs_xml_schemas_02

Editing a property (for example "Description") generates a script in the Database Structure Change Script Window. To update the database, click the Execute the Generated SQL Change Script dbs_ic_execute_script button.
