Database Navigator
The Database Navigator is a primary interface component for managing database structures and contents. It is positioned on the left-hand side of the application window. Key elements of the Database Navigator include the Toolbar, the Settings menu, and a hierarchical Object tree.
For details about the options available in the Toolbar and the Settings menu, see the Toolbar and the Settings menu guides.
The Database Navigator displays a hierarchical tree that includes the following types of objects:
- Folders
-
Database connections
- Database objects (varying by database type, such as Tables, Views, Indexes, etc.)
Tip: You can store Database connections in folders. For more information, see Database Navigator folders.
To access the context menu for an object, hover your cursor over the object in the Database Navigator and click the sandwich button to the right of the object. You can also access the context menu by right-clicking on the object in the Database Navigator.
The table below summarizes the available context menu items for each object type within the tree. The availability of these items depends on the specific database and object types.
