Structure Editor

Design and model the architecture of your databases with ease using the 4D graphic structure editor.

In a single click

Add tables, fields and relations in a single mouse-click and modify their properties using the Properties inspector (that is always at your fingertips).

At any time

The SQL syntax check dynamically tells you if your table and fields names are valid. You can rest assured knowing if your structure is SQL compatible.

Easy reading

• Overview of the Structure Editor

The cardinality of a relation is displayed clearly (0<minimum > 1, 1<maximum > n) to avoid any confusion when reading.

A set of tools also allows you to organize your structure for better readability.

Among these features:

Zoom: In the blink of an eye, you can see the entirety of your structure or, on the other hand, focalize on a specific element.
Alignment: You can optimize the location and the size of tables for better graphic display.
Order by on fields: Organize them when you feel like it.
Color assignment for tables, fields, and index: You can visually set certain features of your application apart with color.

Application analysis

There are a number of features available within the structure editor to help you during application analysis.

When certain applications give the impression of being complex, you can hide the complexity to concentrate on the important aspects of your structure.

Clear organization

Using group management, you can organize the structure by feature. This makes hiding tables that don’t belong to the feature that you want to analyze easy.
