Menu Options

Menu Option	Description
New Object View	Creates a new Object view using the View Designer.
Query Window	Opens the Query Window so that you can execute SQL and PL/SQL queries from Visual Studio.
Generate Create Script	Writes the view definitions to a `.sql` file. If the object associated with the views node is deleted from the database backend, this menu option does the following: Displays a message indicating that this object no longer exists in Oracle Database, and the script will not be generated.
Generate Create Script to Project	Generates the view definitions to a .`sql` file and adds the `.sql` file to an open Oracle Database Project. If multiple objects in Server Explorer are selected, a master SQL script is created in the Oracle Database Project Scripts folder. This master script contains calls to individual child SQL scripts (one for each schema object) generated into the various schema object folders and this master script is ordered with dependencies taken into consideration. If there are multiple open Oracle Database projects, Visual Studio prompts you to select the project to add the script to. This operation can also be performed by dragging and dropping the Server Explorer node(s) directly onto a database project folder. See Managing Oracle Script Files for more information. Note: Oracle Database Project Version 2 projects are not supported. To add scripts to this project type, use Import Schema or Add Existing Item menu items on an Oracle Database Project Version 2 project folder, or use the Schema Compare tool.
Filters	Opens the Filters Tab to control which child nodes appear under the collection.
Privileges	Opens the Grant/Revoke Privileges dialog box.
Copy	Copies views to the clipboard for pasting to Visual Studio designers. This provides the same functionality as dragging and dropping views to the Visual Studio designers.
Refresh	Updates the Views node tree, including its associated View nodes.
Properties	Displays the Properties window.
