Using Favorites

Navigating the Databases tab tree down to a specific object (such as a table) can be quite time-consuming for database objects that you work with often. By adding these objects to the Favorites tab, you have one-click access to them instead. In addition to database objects, you can also add script files to the Favorites tab.

Favorites tab and an open database table

When you click on a database object in the Favorites tab, the corresponding object is opened in an Object View tab. If you're not connected to the database the object belongs to, a connection is automatically established. Clicking on a script in the Favorites tab opens it in an SQL Commander tab.

You can also easily find the corresponding object in the Databases tab or Files tab tree using the Select Target Object right-click menu item.

Adding objects to Favorites

To add an object to Favorites, select it in the Databases or Files tab and choose the Add to Favorites option in the context menu. A dialog will be displayed where you will be able to choose whether to add the new item at the top level or in an existing or new Favorite folder.

Organizing Favorites

In the Favorites tab, you can reorder entries, organize them into folders, rename or delete them.

The right-click menu for an entry also contains entry-type dependent operations, such as executing a Bookmark and open a database object in a separate window.

To sort the favorites, select Sort... from the right-click menu for any favorite. The sorting criteria can be defined in the dialog that pops up.
