How can I load a data Table from a spatial database or data store into a Map in Spatial Manager Desktop™?
To access spatial databases or data stores you need first to have defined a User Data Source (UDS) including all the parameters to connect with (to learn more about UDSs, see: Data sources page)
You can load a data Table from a spatial database or data store using the right-click menu over the Table item itself inside a container of the UDS (usually a Schema), in the "Data sources" panel, to load its content into a new or existing Map. You can also double-click over the Table item itself, in the "Data sources" panel, to load its content into a new or existing Map (this behaviour may be configured in the application settings)
Are there any other functions for the Tables in Spatial Manager Desktop™?
Yes, you can Delete or Rename the Tables in Spatial Manager Desktop™ using the right-click menu over the Table item itself
How can I create a Schema in a database in Spatial Manager Desktop™?
You can create a Schema in a database in Spatial Manager Desktop™ using the right-click menu over the UDS. When creating, you can assign a name to the New Schema
Are there any other functions for the Schemas in Spatial Manager Desktop™?
Yes, you can Delete or Rename the Schemas and Refresh the Schema contents in Spatial Manager Desktop™ using the right-click menu over the Schema item itself. Be careful when you Delete a Schema because all the Tables that it contains will also be deleted
