Hi,

How can I hide the system tables shown here for examples and only show my tables which I created?

    When you connect to a database with SQL DEv, the list of 'default' tables (and other objects) in the navigation pane are those of the schema you logged on as.  From this list, it looks like you are connecting as SYS, when you should be connecting as whatever username whose tables you want to see.  Else, scroll down the list and open 'other users', then drill down from there.

    But I want to login as SYS but hide or filter these default tables because I only want to see the tables I am working on

    Use the filter feature. Right click in the tables node in the tree.

    You should not work as SYS other than do very important system maintenance. SYS is a backup account when you have problems. Write the password down and put it in a safe.

    Better is to use SYSTEM. You can do almost anything with SYSTEM that is also possible as SYS.

    And far batter, create a user with enough rights to do almost anything and use that user to do the work as in creating tables, views and code.

    Makes maintenance much easier and you will never see those system tables that are used by SYS or SYSTEM.

    How about creating a regular user with a DBA role?

    I would echo the others. DO NOT USE SYS.   Using SYS in an oracle database is like using root on a  *nix operating system.  It's very (VERY) powerful and there are few safety checks.  It's like walking a tightrope without a net - while juggling chainsaws.  Just don't do it unless you intend  to do something that cannot be done with a lesser account.

    1. Right click on Tables,
    2. select Apply filter,
    3. Choose from Exclude options "NAME", match it with "LIKE" and enter "Your_Table_Name"

    Click the + to add your preferred tables as many as possible

    Click ok
