The database browser is used to navigate the objects in the database. The types of objects you see is database specific. Clicking an an object in the objects tree reveals more details about it in the Object View.

 
The database browser in DbVisualizer is the place where you navigate the structure of objects available in the database server. The information in the tree depends on what database is being accessed.

Every object (node) in the tree has an accompanying right-click menu with actions specifically for that object. What actions are available depends on the object type but are typically used to create, alter, rename and remove objects of that type.
