The child objects of the objects accessible to you do not need to be displayed in Object Browser. For example, if you have the permission to access a table but does not have the permission to access a column in the table, Object Browser only displays the columns you can access. If access to an object is revoked during an operation on the object, an error message will be displayed, indicating that you do not have permissions to perform the operation. After you refresh Object Browser, the object will not be displayed.

The following objects can be displayed in the navigation tree:

  • Schemas
  • Functions/Procedures
  • Tables
  • Sequences
  • Views
  • Columns, constraints, and indexes

All default created schemas, except for the public schema, are grouped under Catalogs. User schemas are displayed under their databases in Schemas.

The filter option in Object Browser opens a new tab, where you can specify the search scope. Press Enter to start the search. Object Browser also provides a search bar. You can search for an object by name. In an expanded navigation tree, only the objects that match the filter criteria are displayed.

In a collapsed navigation tree, the filtering rule takes effect when a node is expanded.
