Fields
Fields can be defined for stored procedures. These are fields that are returned by any SELECT statements in the stored procedures.
Currently, fields are only supported for MSSQL and DB2 databases.
To edit stored procedure fields:
- Select the Fields node in the navigation pane.
- Ensure that the stored procedure is locked, by selecting the lock button in the toolbar.
- To insert a field: right-click in the details pane and select Insert.
- To delete a field: right-click the field name and choose Delete.
- Field properties are set using the object inspector. You can also set properties using the bulk mode screen by right-clicking in the details pane and choosing Bulk Mode. The bulk mode screen lets you view and edit fields in a free-format text window. See Bulk Mode for more information.
