Figure 2.10 – Filtering schemas in the object list editor
You can also use special characters to further filter the items in the object list editor:
Use the%character as a wild card that matches any number of characters in the name. For
example,GOSALES% would match theGOSALES andGOSALESCT schemas.
Use the underscore (_) character to match any single character. For example, if you type
GOSALES_T, the list displays only theGOSALESCT schema.
2.3.2 Exploring objects with the Show menu
Data Studio also provides a way to navigate to other objects that are related to an object
displayed in the object list editor. When you right-click on an object, the Show sub-menu
displays options for navigating to related objects.
Let's briefly explore the Show sub-menu by displaying a list of tables in a schema. Rightclick
theGOSALES schema in the object list editor. In the Show sub-menu, select Tables,
as shown in Figure 2.11. The object list editor will display the list of tables under the
GOSALES schema. You can return to the list of schemas by clicking on the back button in
the top left of the object list editor’s toolbar.
