Object Explorer FAQs

Frequently asked questions for the Object Explorer guide.

How do I refresh the Object Explorer?​

Why is the Delete option disabled for some objects?​

  • The object is system-protected or required by dependencies.
  • Deletion is restricted to avoid breaking workflows or applications.

What is the Object Explorer?​

The Object Explorer is a component within the Synergy IDE that allows users to browse and interact with data entities, such as database tables, views, stored procedures, and functions. It presents these elements in a hierarchical structure, making it easier to locate and work with data objects during development.

It also provides context-aware tools such as data previews, script generation, and object-specific editing options. This explorer improves productivity by giving developers a centralized place to manage backend data objects visually.

Example Use Cases:

  • Viewing the structure of a database table.
  • Opening a stored procedure for editing.
  • Filtering database entities by name or type.

There are several reasons why an object may not be visible in the Object Explorer:

  • The object has not been created yet or has not been imported into the project.
  • Active filters or search criteria might exclude the object from the view.
  • You may not have sufficient permissions to view the object.
  • The Object Explorer might require a manual refresh if there were recent changes in the database schema.
