User Nodes

This section covers the following topics:

How the User Nodes Work

The User node is a child of the Users node. It represents a user in the database. If you expand the Users node, a node appears for each user selected in the Filters Tab on the Connection Dialog.

If you expand a user node, for example, HR, the database object type nodes such as Tables or Views, appear as child nodes under the HR user node.

To perform actions on a User node: right-click this node and from the menu choose the appropriate command. To view the node's properties, select the node and/or click Properties in the node's menu.

Menu Options

Menu Option	Description
Edit	Opens the designer so that you can edit the node.
Query Window	Opens the query window.
Generate Create Script	Writes the user definition to a `.sql` file.
Generate Create Script to Project	Generates the user definition to a .`sql` file and adds the `.sql` file to an open Oracle Database Project. If multiple objects in Server Explorer are selected, a master SQL script is created in the Oracle Database Project Scripts folder. This master script contains calls to individual child SQL scripts (one for each schema object) generated into the various schema object folders and this master script is ordered with dependencies taken into consideration. If there are multiple open Oracle Database projects, Visual Studio prompts you to select the project to add the script to. This operation can also be performed by dragging and dropping the Server Explorer node(s) directly onto a database project folder. See Managing Oracle Script Files for more information. Note: Oracle Database Project Version 2 projects are not supported. To add scripts to this project type, use Import Schema or Add Existing Item menu items on an Oracle Database Project Version 2 project folder, or use the Schema Compare tool.

Privileges	Opens the privileges dialog.
Delete	Deletes the user selected. Disabled for the current (connected) user.
