Customizing the database tree view

Your database tree is shown in the Database tool window. This tool window lets you view and modify data structures in your databases, and perform other associated tasks.

You can filter, group, and sort the database objects that are shown in the Database tool window for each data source and display only the objects that you need.

Refresh the database state

If someone changed the remote database data or view, the local view of the database might differ from the actual state of the database.

To synchronize the database state automatically, in the Database tool window (View | Tool Windows | Database), click the Data Source Properties button the Data Source Properties button and select the data source that you want to change. On the Options tab, select the Auto sync checkbox.

If the Auto sync checkbox is cleared, the view of the data source in the Database tool window (View | Tool Windows | Database) is synchronized with the actual state of the database only when you click the Refresh icon the Refresh button or press Ctrl+F5.
