How to open a specific table on startup or connect?

Question

In my current environment I have a HUGE list of tables to scroll down through and finding that specific table I need to double-click is tedious (almost like trying to find a needle in a haystack).

Is there a way to open a specific table upon connecting to a database?

Alternatively, is there a way to create "shortcuts" (something like "favorites") to certain tables, so that they are easily accessible/findable upon SQL Developer startup?

Answer 1

I don't believe it is possible to set up a set of "Favorite" tables. However, if you right-click on Tables in your connection, there is an Apply Filter option. That lets you specify criteria to filter the set of tables that are displayed based on the name of the table or on other attributes like the last DDL time, etc. That's generally the easiest way to reduce the list to a reasonable number of tables.
