Schema-centric database navigation for SQL Server
A database navigation tool that connects to SQL Server and presents objects in a schema-first hierarchy, with saved workspaces, cross-schema favorites, fast search, and customizable grouping. It could integrate with SSMS or provide a companion desktop/web interface while respecting database security and permissions.
The problem
SSMS organizes database objects primarily by object type, making it cumbersome to navigate databases with many tables across multiple schemas. Existing object filters are insufficient when users regularly work across several schemas, forcing repetitive searching and slowing down database exploration.
