In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio I miss the ability to group tables in a groups. same for functions,procedures,..

I would only do this for how the studio show the tables, so nothing inside the database, more a different view to organize the tables.

Details (expand)

English

Tools (SSMS, Agent, Profiler, Migration, etc.)

Allow to create new group under tables in the management studio object explorer.

Faster Development

better overview, grouping of functionality,..

Hi!, thanks for writing in to Microsoft and providing this great suggestion.

We took a look at this request recently and triaged it against several others and unfortunately, it did not meet the bar to be fixed. While we are closing this issue as 'won't fix', we have taken note of this internally and we will try & incorporate this request when we revisit this functionality in a future release of SSMS.

Meanwhile, we encourage you to take a look at SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) which offers this capability and much more.

Regards,
Sanjay Nagamangalam, SQL Server Manageability
