Database Explorer


Database Explorer (or DB Explorer) is the basic window of SQL Manager for PostgreSQL for navigation within databases and working with database objects. The tree-like structure of DB Explorer allows you to manage the databases and database objects, and perform other everyday operations quickly and easily.

 

The following list contains the most frequently used features provided by Database Explorer.

 

All objects are structured by their types and are available within the corresponding nodes of the tree. The number of objects of each type is displayed in brackets after the node name denoting the object type. To expand/collapse a node, you can double-click it or use the +/- icons.
