The Database Explorer

The Database Explorer is a graphical interface to the database functionality. It can be launched by loading DatabaseLink and executing the command DatabaseExplorer[].

When the Database Explorer opens, you can connect to the different databases that are configured for your system. It also allows you to create new connections. After you connect to a database, you can see a view of the tables and columns; as seen in the following example.

You can then see the data in the database by clicking on the Result tab. Here is an example view.

The Database Explorer supports many more features, such as forming more complicated queries, saving queries, and creating reports with the result of a query (saved as a Mathematica notebook). These are described in the Database Explorer section.
