SSMS - Fabric WAREHOUSE SQL endpoint - NOT grouped by OBJECT TYPE instead by Schema.
Hi there,
Wondering if there are possible alternative solutions for the below. Not sure if im the only one thinking feeling this way or everyone is happy with set up on the left and prefer to traverse thru N number of clicks to see objects from different schema.
Hi AJAJ ,
Thanks for the patience. In SSMS 22.4.1 and newer, Object Explorer supports grouping objects by type (classic view: Tables, Views, Stored Procedures) or by schema. You can configure grouping behavior in SSMS settings under Tools - Options - SQL Server Object Explorer - General - Group objects by Schema.
If the Object Explorer view in SSMS doesn’t display objects exactly as you prefer, you can use system catalog views to list objects with type and schema information. For example, you can query sys.objects or INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES / INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS to see all database objects along with their types and schemas. Additionally, the Fabric portal Data Explorer provides a graphical interface to browse warehouse objects and schemas.

PraveenVeli Thanks for pointing it out. Never knew there is a button like that.
Anyway - is this a bug on SSMS 2022.4.1?I don't know if it's expected behavior in SSMS or a bug. In VS Code I can group objects by type or by schema for Fabric Warehouses, but for SSMS Microsoft documentation on Fabric Warehouse display says objects are grouped by schema by default. I can't find a way to change that in SSMS for Fabric Warehouses right now. I'll keep researching, but if you need to view them by object type, VS Code is the better option I know of.
Hello AJAJ
Actually there is indeed a setting in SSMS, and it controls how you want to group your objects. Starting with SSMS 22.4.1, Object Explorer can toggle schema-grouping for any SQL database.
Tools > Options > SQL Server Object Explorer > General > “Group objects by Schema”.If it’s OFF, you’ll see the “SQL Server classic” style i.e. like thisTablesdbo.table1schema1.table2Here's the page where you'll find the detail -Thanks deborshi_nag i got excited and got bummed. I dont want to group by schema as mentioned in the original post. I want to group by object type since its already grouped by schema.
i want to see fabric warehouse tables to be listed out like the below which is not in the current case even though the box is not checked. are you seeing fabric warehouse without grouped by schem? if you could share screenshot that would be helpful.dbo.table1schema1.table2AJAJ I am using SSMS 19.3, and yes I don't see them grouped by schemas. In the screenshot a1_warehouse is a Fabric sample warehouse - ref and sales are schemas.
deborshi_nag do you think you could run this and share.

During Fabcon, they presented this is a new feature of SSMS. While it looks great, I prefer the Tables,views grouping instead, especially when queries span multiple schemas.
