@Alexis Blandinโ€‹ what catalog is showing as default to you, as UC itself is for governance you will be seeing only those catalog's that you have been assigned with. if you are admin you will see all catalog's in schema browser in data under SQL. can you please share screen shot what changes you want to make

Hi, From the dropdown you can get the data objects.

Hi,

Of course I can select objects with the dropdowns.

But to give you an idea of the experience. My users say me it's pretty annoying that every time they go to the SQL editor they need to change the catalog to our gold one, then our core database (which is our data warehouse database).
