Abstract: Database interaction is facilitated by graphically presenting database objects in groups that are not necessarily dictated by object types of the database objects. In an example implementation, database navigation is facilitated by determining object dependency groups for a database in which each object dependency group corresponds to a database source object and includes at least those database objects that depend directly or indirectly from the corresponding database source object. When these data source object-based dependency groups are graphically displayed, selecting a database object thereof provides access thereto. In another example implementation, a user can designate an attribute associated with database objects by which the database objects are to be grouped. Thus, the database objects are grouped by various values that the user-designated associated attribute takes. These designated attribute-based value-driven groups may also be graphically displayed to enable navigation of and access to the different database objects assigned to them.

Abstract translation: 通过图形化地呈现不一定由数据库对象的对象类型指定的组中的数据库对象来促进数据库交互。 在示例实现中，通过确定数据库的对象依赖性组来促进数据库导航，其中每个对象依赖组对应于数据库源对象，并且至少包括那些直接或间接依赖于对应的数据库源对象的数据库对象。 当这些基于数据源的基于对象的依赖组被图形显示时，选择其数据库对象提供对其的访问。 在另一示例实现中，用户可以指定与要对数据库对象进行分组的数据库对象相关联的属性。 因此，数据库对象按照用户指定的关联属性所采用的各种值进行分组。 这些指定的基于属性的价值驱动组也可以以图形方式显示，以便导航和访问分配给它们的不同数据库对象。

Abstract: A schema editor allows for definition, distribution, and use of schema templates. The schema editor allows schema to be edited and then saved in such a way that the saved file can be reimported into the schema editor.
