Find DB objects

[Dennis Schafthuizen]

In version 5 the Find DB objects searched within the selected browser filter. Is this feature gone?

For a large application is was very useful that the search took place within the selected filter. Can this be re-introduced? Maybe as option so you can choose withtin the filter or not.

An other idea is to select folders in stead of objecttypes.

Yes, the Object Browser now searches all objects. Note that you can save and load frequently used searches, so you may be able to implement the criteria from the filter to a standard search.

In our project (for example 1600 packages, 1300 tables, 6000 triggers) where everything is installed under 1 owner it takes a long time before the search is finished. Most of the times you want to search in a specific part which can be identified by a browser filter or by an user defined folder. It's should be very nice to search within a filter or one or more folders.

This project sounds huge. Is it used for calculating taxes in Netherlands?

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests. Basically you want to limit the search to the where clause of a browser filter or a (user defined, query based) browser folder.

 

[Dennis Schafthuizen]

That's correct. If it's not implemented by search in a filter of a folder but by entering a separate where-clause it would be nice to save the where-clause.
