FeatureSuggestion : Object Browser / Object Lookup

[valkcon]

Looks great so far, I'm almost (but not quite) convinced to use this daily....however:

A db-object-browser would be great. Given intellisense is already a feature, shouldn't this be almost as simple as a Pretty-Dump-to-someTreeViewThingy of the intellisense data?

We tend to use StoredProcedures a lot, it's difficult to actually load a definition of a StoredProc in the extension (or view, or table) without first writing some sql and then using "go to definition". If I want to alter procedure dbo.deleteWholeDataBase, I have to type exec dbo.deleteWholeDataBase and then use "go to definition", there's an inherent danger there I might actually execute exec dbo.deleteWholeDataBase!!

Actually, a full-ux-object-browser is not entirely required, just a single auto-complete-lookup input for the intellisense-data with a button beside results for "go to definition" would be great. Maybe even possible to put this into the command pallette. In fact a simpler lookup for db-object-name-contains could even be more useful than a treeview as half the time I forget which schema has the StProc or view I'm looking for, or that one schema StProc is calling the other.

Just a few thoughts.

I came here to ask for the same thing. A UI view would be ideal!

I think this is the same request as #1031 ? (or vica versa)
