db_7523 The task is intended for viewing the data of DBM-map.

GIS Panorama provides access to the contents of spatial databases (DB). For link with the DB, a DBM file is used, which contains a description of the parameters of a digital vector map.

It is possible to open a DBM-map by using the main menu item of the program «File - Open a map DBM» or by using the button «Open a DBM-map» on the main toolbar.

To view the data of the DBM-map, click on the button «Open a map DBM» located on the main toolbar and select an object on the map.

Dialog «Information from the database table» will be as a result displayed which allows you to perform the following functions:

-   find a map object for the current record;

-   show information about the object for the current record;

-   select related objects;

-   show records for selected objects

-   show detailed information for the current record;

-   navigation through table records;

-   editing table records;

-   search, filtering, sorting of data;

-   saving data to a CSV file.

 

If parameter «Field of unique identifier» is not set in the «Parameters of representation of a spatial database» of the DBM-map, in dialog only modes of display and editing of the table records are available.

For fields like ftGraphic, ftMemo, ftWideMemo, the values ​​are viewed and edited in an additional window, which is invoked by double-clicking the left mouse button on a table cell.

The dialog provides tools for convenient viewing of a table with a large amount of data:

-   setting the order of displaying columns;

-   changing the width of columns;

-   specifying the status of columns visibility.

 

The list of visible columns is customized by clicking on the upper left cell (with the image of a black triangle pointing down), as a result a menu with a list of table fields will be displayed, by selecting which you can show/hide columns.

Database table display parameters are saved in a file with the name of the corresponding vector map and the extension ‘*.dbmi’, for example,

c:\Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\publicfacil.dbmi.
