Allows search the current connection for views, functions, and stored procedures. Selecting an object will open the SQL definition in a new query.

It is recommended to assign a keyboard shortcut to Search Connection. This allows easy opening of SQL object definitions.

Navigates the user through the object explorer interface via keyboard selection. Selecting an object will open the SQL definition in a new query, if there is one.

Large SQL objects do not open in a new query document correctly. Currently, only the first 65535 characters of a definition will open in the query editor. QueryProvider.runQueryAndReturn returns SimpleExecuteResult, which seems to cap how long the DbCellValue.displayValue string can be at 65535. The actual LEN(definition) will return over that value, but there's something about the conversion to string that truncates the result. I should probably add a conditional to show an information message when the definition is exactly 65535, because that most likely means that the object definition has been truncated.

• this is similar to how the SQL Database Projects extension isn't able to update SQL objects with lengths greater than 65535, as well (issue).
• additionally, if you run the following and copy and paste the definition into a new query document, only the first 65535 characters are pasted.

SELECT name, OBJECT_DEFINITION(object_id)
FROM sys.objects
WHERE name = 'LARGE_OBJECT'

CREATE scripts for tables don't exist by default in SQL Server. More development would be needed to support opening table CREATE scripts.
