Log on to OceanBase Developer Center (ODC) and click the name of the target connection to go to the corresponding connection management page. You can click View in the left-side navigation pane to get a list of views in the current database.

In the view list, you can view the structure tree of an object. You can also right-click the target object to perform some management actions on the object. You can also double-click the name of the target view to go to the view management page, which includes the Attribute and Data tabs.

Structure tree

You can click the expand icon before the name of the target view in the view list, and the structure tree of the view is displayed in a drop-down list, as shown in the following figure. The structure tree of a view can have up to three levels. When you right-click an item in the tree, the shortcut menu displays some actions that you can perform on the item. For more information about these actions, see the Management actions section, where you can find the table describing the management options.
