# Chapter 3. Workspace

Mergeant uses the notion of workspace: a workspace is a window corresponding to a specific data source connection. Several workspaces can be opened at the same time, and some of them for the same data source (in this case, every modification made in one workspace will immediately be made available to the other workspace).

A workspace provides several work areas, displayed in the same window; a menu situated on the top left part of the window allowing to change the displayed work area, which are:

- The tables and views work area: shows tables and views, their column, and the referential integrity rules.

- The data types work area: lists data types and functions operating on the selected data types

- The queries work area: enables management of user defined queries for data manipulation (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE operations)

- The relations work area: shows the database structure regarding referential integrity rules.

- The forms work area where user defined custom forms can be managed.
