About Database Explorer
The Database Explorer accesses information on database objects from the database server and provides details on tables, views, aliases, nicknames, procedures, functions, triggers, packages and user-defined types. The type of information given is dependent on the object type and your privileges to access specific database objects.
Database Explorer Window
The Database Explorer window is divided into two sections:
Database Objects
Displays a tree diagram of the database objects these include schemas, tables, views, aliases, procedures, functions, triggers, packages, nicknames and user-defined types.
Object Information

Privileges
User privileges within the database server are directly reflected in the Database Explorer. Schema with full access will be able to view all database objects within the catalog. Otherwise, those granted to the schema will be viewable.
