Schemas Node

This section covers the following topics:

About Schemas

The Schemas node lists every schema selected in the Filters Tab on the Connection Dialog.

A schema is a collection of database objects, including logical structures such as tables, views, sequences, procedures, synonyms, indexes, clusters, and database links. A schema has the same name as the user who controls it.

You cannot hide the Schemas node through the Data Connections Tools/Option Page of Oracle Developer Tools.

How the Schemas Node Works

The Schemas node is visible from the Server Explorer tree when you right-click the connection node and select Change View, then Schemas. Otherwise, you see the Users node.

To perform actions on the Schemas node: right-click the node and from the menu, choose the appropriate command. To view the node's properties, select the node and/or click Properties in the node's menu.

If this collection node is filtered, the icon changes to include a funnel symbol. For more information about filtering, see Filtering Collection Nodes.
