Navigating between related objects in the Object List

You can use context-sensitive navigation in the Object List to show objects that are related to your selected objects.

Procedure

To go display objects that are related to an object in the Object List, complete the following step:

Right-click the object in the Object List, click Show, and click an object type in the context-sensitive menu.

For example, assume that schemas are being displayed in the Object List. Right-click a schema, and then click Tables. The Object List contents are refreshed to show the tables that are in that schema. Right-click a table in the list, and then click Indexes. The Object List displays the indexes that are defined for the selected table.

Tip: In the toolbar for the Object List, use the back and forward arrow icons (Graphic of the back button. and Graphic of the forward button.) to go back or forward one page in the navigation sequence. The navigation sequence consists of the Object List pages that you have displayed while working in the Object List .

As you go back and forward through the navigation sequence, the Object List reflects any objects that have been dropped or altered. For example, assume that you display tables in the Object List, display the columns for a table, and then drop a column in the table. If you go back to the list of tables and then forward to the list of columns, the dropped column is not displayed. In addition, if you change the filtering, sorting, or column resizing characteristics for the object type that is being displayed, these changes are retained as you move forward and backward through the navigation sequence.
