Overview

You might need to classify and group database connections into projects. Projects store objects related not to a particular database but to all database connections. These are usually files stored on the file system.

The Projects view displays all projects created in the system and provides tools to manage them. To open the Projects view, on the Window menu, click Projects.

For information on how to change the view layout, please see the Application Window Overview article.

Project Structure

Projects in the system are displayed in a tree format and all have the same high-level structure:

Section	Description
Connections	Repeat the content of the Database Navigator view for this project. Perform the same actions over the objects of the databases as in the Database Navigator.
Bookmarks	Contains bookmarks – shortcuts to database objects.
Diagrams	Contains ER diagrams that you can drag-and-drop here from other folders.
Scripts	Contains scripts that you can drag-and-drop here from other folders.

Toolbar and View Menu

The toolbar is integrated into the title bar at the top of the window and contains buttons that mirror items in the view menu.

View Menu items

To open the view menu, click the View Menu button located in the upper-right corner of the window. The view menu contains the following items:
