I want to have a docked window with table columns - just like the docked window with class attributes, which synchronizes itself to selecting an attribute in a diagram or in the project browser.
Is that not possible? (EA 14, 1427)
…
Also: in a class on a diagram I can add an attribute with shift+cntrl+F9 - is there no similar function for table columns?

The Database Builder...
Thanks, but :( the Database Builder does not react to select a column on a diagram "like the docked window with class attributes, which synchronizes itself to selecting an attribute in a diagram or in the project browser".
… at least, I haven't managed to get it to do that.
With the Database Builder, I have to select Database + select table + select column each time - this is prohibitively tedious and disturbing for the meeting partiipants, when I'm sitting with business people (data stewards, BI analytics, etc.) mapping their implementation views (DB,...) to the conceptual/logical model which carries all the business definitions)
Besides that, the Database Builder takes up an awful lot of screen real estate for that purpose - when the meetings 'fix point' is a diagram.
Then I'm better off using the columns and constraints window - it's just not dockable, which makes it very disturbing in the meeting context, having to pop it up each time.
