View Database Schemas Used During an App's Lifecycle

As your application progresses through its development lifecycle, you might want to know which database schemas store the app's business objects in each phase (development, shared, and live).

VB Studio automatically manages the schemas and tables for apps and business objects in your database. It also re-creates the development and shared schemas with different names for every new version of your app. (The live schema for a deployed app doesn't change if you choose to not replace the data.)

If you are using your own Oracle database, knowing the name of the schema associated with each phase of your app can help you access data using other tools for import or export, or access the tables for your own purposes.

To view the schema associated with a particular phase of an application's lifecycle:
  1. In the left navigator, click Environments Environments.
  2. Click the Deployments tab.
  3. Locate your shared or deployed visual application, then look in the Schema column. Hover over the text to see the full schema name in a tooltip.

  4. To copy the schema name, select the Copy to Clipboard icon (Copy to clipboard icon), then paste it in a text editor of your choice.
