Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Create an ERD definition
Applies to User roles: System Administrator
An Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is a graphic description of the logical structure of a database. Database administrators often rely on conceptual and physical data models to understand the relationships among tables, records, and data, and to produce reports.
To create an ERD definition:
- From the System Navigator, click Tailoring > Database Manager.
- In the Form field, type erddef and click Search.
- From the Associated Forms section, double-click the erddef.g form.
- Enter the First Filename, Second Filename, and Relationship Type.
- In the Field Names from First Filename text box, enter the fields for which you want to create the join.
- Enter the fields for which you want to create the join in the Field Names from Second Filename text box.
In this example, the contact.name field in the probsummary table contains the same data as the contact.name field in the contacts table. - Click Add.
For additional information about relationship types, see Create a join in the related topics.
