dear support,

another great feature that gives us more usability: in some databases, there are over 50 tables but you usually work with a few of them... to highlight/mark/flag them, would help so much in daily work! here“s an exmaple:

You could use the 'Database Project' functionality as described below:

1. Select 'File -> New -> Blank Project' from the main menu.
2. Drag'n'drop the connection from Database Explorer onto Project Explorer (select 'View -> Project Explorer' from the main menu).
3. Drag'n'drop the specified tables from Database Explorer onto Project Explorer.
4. Save the project by selecting 'File -> Save NewProject As...' from the main menu.

Now, whenever you open the project, you will have your favourite tables in a convenient place.

Please also see the 'Managing Database Projects' node in the product's Help documentation.

In the projects, you can assign objects of the databases within the same connection.

yes, but I need to assign objects of different connections, you should know, big projects have more than one database server, I have projects here with 5 database servers, so how can I handle this?

i know or i expacted this answer... so please keep in mind, that my simple feature request to give tables a color, a simple easy way is, to mark tables as important or whatever.... if you offer different colors, everybody would be able to use them for individual issues....
