You can control how the Database navigator and Database object editor display objects by switching between Simple and Advanced connection views.

navigator simple advanced view

To change the view, right-click a connection in the Database navigator and select Connection view:

  • Simple - shows only schemas and tables.
  • Advanced - shows all database objects. Enabled by default.
  • Show system objects - makes system schemas and tables visible in the Database navigator and the Metadata editor.

Tip: Admins can set the default view for all new connections in Settings - Server configuration - Configuration - Navigator simple view. This only affects newly created connections.
