Feature request: filter tables in browser
Thanks for creating this package: it is exactly what I was looking for. I was using DBeaver before finding your package and one feature I miss is the ability to filter tables in the browser. I have upwards of 100+ tables, but I only need to see a handful of them.
Ideally, I would be able to do the following:
- Quickly turn on/off filtering globally
- Add multiple filters with wildcard support
- Automatically sort filters when editing filters (missing from DBeaver)
- Create filter groups (missing from DBeaver)
- Quickly turn on/off individual group/filter (missing from DBeaver)
Maybe a lot to ask for, but I would also be happy with just basic filtering. Thanks again.
You already have a fuzzy finder to do a quick select and it scrolls to the table in the browser if it's open. In the command palette type "Find table to select" or press ctrl+alt+T if you haven't overridden the keymap. I don't know if that is what you are looking for.
Not exactly. I was thinking more of limiting the returned list of tables in the browser to only the ones that match a pattern. I know about fuzzy finder, but I prefer to actually see a list of tables that I need to work with, as I find that less taxing on my brain than trying to remember the names of tables. The code I work with uses somewhat obscure table names, and I find myself frequently having to look up the table name.
This package offers the table names as suggestions. If you only need the table names, just type the name in an editor and a list of tables will appear. It only works when the current syntax is SQL.
