Overview
In this lesson we will explain how to explore and associate existing databases objects including tables, stored procedures and functions. In this lesson we will showcase Tables related features but the same concepts and features apply to SPs and Functions.
How to explore Database Tables?
On Wayfast, make sure that the Project is created and at least, a requirement is in “Active” status.
...
Wayfast automatically shows the different Transactional, Master data and Business data tables in grid view dashboard.
How to associate Tables from other databases?
Click on “Associating Tables” button and this a popup will openbe displayed on screen.

This feature will work only if we associated another existing database to the Project. If we only have the database created for this project, Wayfast won’t retrieve any other database and their tables. |
How to create a new Table in SQL and synchronize it on Wayfast?
Let’s open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the DB associated to the Project.
...
Automatically the new row is added on the Transactional Tables grid view with the corresponding “Instance” and “Database” values that we create on SQL.
...
Recap
In this lesson, we learnt how to associate existent tables in our Project’s database. And we observed how the new tables created from the SQL Server Management Studio are synchronized in simple steps into Wayfast.
