Click the plus sign next to the Montgomery geodatabase and double-click each feature dataset to see the feature classes and relationship classes it contains. Click the feature classes to preview their geometry.

Click the owners.dat INFO table. Notice how the Preview type automatically changes to Table and displays the table’s records.
