Add Table Dialog Box (Database Designer) (Visual Database Tools)

Lets you add tables in Database Designer.

Note

If the table is published for replication, you must make schema changes using the Transact-SQL statement ALTER TABLE or SQL Server Management Objects (SMO). When schema changes are made using the Table Designer or the Database Diagram Designer, it attempts to drop and recreate the table. You cannot drop published objects, therefore the schema change will fail.

  • Refresh
    Refreshed the list of tables to match the current state of the database.

  • Add
    Adds the selected table or tables.

    Note

    If you want to add several tables to the diagram, you can select them all before clicking Add. Alternatively, you can double-click each table you want to add, then click Close when you are finished.

  • Close
    Closes the dialog box without adding further tables.
