This dialog is used to select a database table structure type from the supplied list.

note.gif (1017 bytes) Creating a table using this facility will create the necessary data components in memory. The table will not immediately exist as a physical file, so it is necessary to save your project after creating a table in this way if you wish to preserve the results. You will be prompted, on saving your project, to save the new data, and optionally include a reference to it in the project (.dm) file.

 

Data tables, for each type, require a minimum field specification. For example, Collars tables will, as a minimum, require a Hole ID, Easting, Northing, Elevation, Length and Azimuth information for each collar position, so these columns are automatically created, without corresponding values.

The following list shows a full breakdown of the fields included in each new table type:
