3. Export format.
4. Opens XML settings dialog.
5. Starts export.
6. Export restrictions.
   
7. Focus table.
   
8. Outline of focus table.
   
9. Restrictions editor. Edit restriction on currently selected association here.
   
10. Xml mapping editor. Define the XML structure here.
11. Xml sketch. Gives you a preview of how the XML will look like.
    
12. Model-graph panel.
• Panning. Drag with left mouse-button.
• Zooming. Drag with right mouse-button on empty space.
• Zoom in/out. Mouse-wheel down/up.
• Zoom to fit. Click with right mouse-button on empty space.
• Context menu. Click with right mouse-button on table.
• Select association. Click with left mouse-button on association.
• Expand table. Double-click with right mouse-button on collapsed table.
• Collapse table. Double-click with right mouse-button on expanded table.
• Move table. Drag with left mouse-button on table.
13. Currently selected association.
    
14. Collapsed table. Table with hidden associations.
15. Subject table.
16. Aggregation. The XML render of PROJECT will be aggregated into the XML render of PROJECT_PARTICIPATION.
    

XML Mapping Dialog

Data Model Editor

1. List of all tables.
2. List of all associations.

Table Editor

1. Table name.
2. Columns.
3. Insert/Upsert selection. Use Upserts if exported rows may already exist in the database in which you want to import them.
4. Exclude from deletion. If switched-on, no delete-statements will be generated for the rows of this table.
5. Export all rows. If switched-on, all rows of this table will be exported if the table is directly or indirectly associated with the subject table. This is essentially a performance optimization. Excluding tables with few rows which are associated with many other rows can speed-up the export-process a lot.
   

Association Editor

1. Source table.
2. Type. "associates", "depends on" and "has dependent".
   
3. Destination table.
4. Cardinality. If you're not very sure what the cardinality of the association is, it is better to leave this field blank!
5. Join Condition. Condition which is fulfilled by a pair of rows if and only if the two rows are associated with each other.
6. Name. Unique name of association.
   

Data Export Dialog

1. Export into. Name of SQL-script containing INSERT-statements for exported rows. If the name ends with '.zip', then a zip-compressed file will be generated.
2. Generate delete-script. Name of SQL-script containing DELETE-statements for rows to be deleted. If the name ends with '.zip', then a zip-compressed file will be generated.
3. Upsert all rows. Generate Upsert (Overwrite) Statements for all exported rows instead of following the table-settings.
4. Explain. Gerate an explain-log which shows the connection of each exported row to a subject row. Note that explaining is very expensive. Don't use it if you are already sure that there are no unintensionally exported rows.
5. Thread. Number of thread/concurrent connections to be used for export-process. Set this number to 1 if you encounter problems with concurrent connections.
6. Rows per statement. Maximum number of rows to be inserted with singe INSERT-statement (if your DBMS supports multi-row inserts).
