Database Explorer Window no longer visible

Post by DaddyOh »

<oXygen/> XML Editor 11.1, build 2010010613
mac osx 10.6.4

I have several exist-db datasources configured and they have worked in the past. Now when I open up oxygen and hit the DB icon it greys out and the database explorer windows does not show up.

In opetions/preferences/Data Sources I can see the connections and the data sources.

How do I get the db explorer window working again.

Thanks

Hello,

Pressing the Database icon from the toolbar(or in the menu Perspective -> Database) switches the Oxygen perspective to the database oriented one.
After doing this you can either:
- reset the perspective(Perspective -> Reset Layout) and all the views(including Data Source Explorer) will be reset to their original location and visibility
- show only the Data Source Explorer view(Perspective -> Show View -> Data Source Explorer). This works in any perspective so you don't have to switch to the Database perspective to make this work.

Regards,
Adrian

I upgraded before this reply and I was able to use the DB explorer.

Thanks
