Azuredatastudio: Feature for searching database objects in Servers Pane

Created on 7 Mar 2018  路  7Comments  路  Source: microsoft/azuredatastudio

Ability to search in Servers pane within a database(s) will be a great feature.
Currently it only supports searching server names. Once server and a database is selected, searching tables, stored procedures, etc. will be helpful specially when there are n number of objects.

Yes, please add this feature! I would love to filter the list of objects in the database! When you have hundreds of Tables, Procedures etc. in a database, this makes it a lot easier to find things.

@anthonydresser It's not really dashboard related, I think OP means the left side (Object explorer)

Being able to search there for stuff inside the server object instead of only "Server Names" would improve the workflow drastically. Right now you have to switch the tab to "Manage" in order to search for tables, views etc. which can get really confusing.

Yeah searching within Servers for the following objects within a SQL instance would be great:

  • Table names
  • Column names within those tables

+1

@jplonghi have you tried the Redgate SQL Search extension? It doesn't integrate with Servers viewlet, but it does efficiently perform global searches across a connection.

@kburtram just tried, it works, thanks. But I still think that feature is necesary.

Closing as a duplicate of #8052 - this has been added and will be available in the upcoming insiders build for early testing. Feedback is appreciated!
