Tools Menu

Tools menu allows you to setup different options of the Aginity Workbench for EMC Greenplum application.



Here is the list of all the functions you can access via Tools menu.

   1.  Sql Dump Runner -  allows you to run each query in a debug mode.

   2.  Reverse Engineer Database - this command is similar to the Script Database command except that you must provide the connection information that database you want to reverse engineer.

   3.  Compare Schemas - select any two databases and click Compare to get started. After the comparison has completed running you will see the structure of the two databases. The objects highlighted in red are missing or different from the other schema. Clicking the 'Alter Script' button for the respective window creates a SQL scripts file which will reconcile any differences with the other database.

   4.  Database Maintenance - allows database maintenance (analyze, vacuum, reindex, etc.)

   5.  SSH Terminal - opens a new window to connect to SSH terminal.

   6.  Options - allows you to completely customize the Aginity Workbench for EMC Greenplum.
