New

db-Add

Inserts a new row before the current row, and sets the table into Insert state.

 

Edit

Delete

db-Delete

Deletes the current row and makes the next row the current row.

 

Save

db-Post

Writes changes in the current row to the database.

Cancels edits to the current row, restores the row to its condition prior to editing, and turns off Insert and Edit states if they are active.
