Schema Explorer
The Schema Explorer gives you a live view of your database structure. It's the left panel in Zentro, below the project navigator.
What You Can Browse
- Tables — all tables in the connected database, with row count estimates
- Columns — name, data type, nullable, default value, primary key flag
- Indexes — index name, type, columns covered
- Foreign keys — references to other tables, with direction
- Views — listed separately from tables
- Stored procedures — listed per database (PostgreSQL functions, SQL Server stored procs)
Navigating the Tree
Click any table to expand it and see its columns. Double-clicking a table opens a Table View in the editor area, showing the first 200 rows.
Right-clicking a table gives you:
- Open Table — view all rows in the Data Grid
- Copy
SELECT *— pastes a select query to the active editor tab - View DDL — shows the
CREATE TABLEstatement - Refresh — re-fetches structure from the database
Search
Press Ctrl+F while the Schema Explorer has focus to search table and column names. The tree filters live as you type.
Switching Databases
For connections that have multiple databases (e.g. MySQL), a database selector appears at the top of the Schema Explorer. Switching databases re-fetches the schema for the selected database without disconnecting.
ERD Button
An ERD button at the top of the Schema Explorer opens the Entity-Relationship Diagram view for the current schema.
