DB Navigator folders

Users can conveniently group and store connections using folders in the Database Navigator. Folders can be created by any logged-in user in the Private project, and by administrators in the Shared project.

To create a folder in the Database Navigator, follow these steps:

1. Press the New folder button on the top Navigator toolbar.

   

2. Enter a folder name in the popup dialog box and press the Create button.

   

   Note: Folder names may not contain the following symbols ?, U, [, ^, /, :, ', ", \, <, >, |, ?, ], +,* and cannot start with a .. Each folder name must be unique within the project. If a user attempts to use unsupported characters or a non-unique name, an error message will prompt a name change.

   Tip: If the option to enable private connections is activated in the settings, you can select whether folders are shared or private during creation.

To add a connection to a folder, drag and drop the connection into the folder. The connection will then appear in the Database Navigator within the folder.

To move a connection out of a folder, drag and drop it above the list of Navigator objects.

To create a subfolder, drag and drop one folder into another, or click on a folder and create a new one. To move a subfolder, drag and drop it above the list of Navigator objects or into another folder.

To rename a folder, select Rename from the folder's context menu and change the name in the popup dialog box.

To delete a folder, select Delete from the folder context menu and confirm the action in the popup dialog box.

Note: Deleting a folder will only remove the folder and any subfolders. All connections will remain in the Database Navigator.

To update a folder's content, select Refresh from the folder context menu.
