  • Table name
  • Number of records
  • Last update date
  • Size
  • Dictionary status (Yes/None)
  • Triggers status (Yes/None)
  • Security status (Yes/None)

The following information for virtual tables:

  • Table / virtual table name and connection string

And the following size information:

  • Total size of tables
  • Drive space remaining

With a database open, the file listing displays the following information:

  • Table / virtual table name
  • Table / virtual table path
  • Table / virtual table type (Table/VirtualTable)
  • Virtual table connection string, alias, primary key, command and properties

Example
