DB Tools

The database view tool is useful for configuring solutions and troubleshooting data issues. You can use this feature to:

  • Inspect database content and view the contents of tables
  • Run SQL queries to directly retrieve specific information
  • Display record counts to determine the number of records in each table

Consultants and support teams can leverage this tool to assist customers in identifying missing data and investigating the root cause of problems by examining the database contents.
