# Database Connection Profile Preferences

Determines how connection profile information displays: grouped by schema or listed alphabetically with database object owner in parentheses next to the object name.

By default, database objects display in alphabetical order and indicate the owner name in parentheses. For more refined control, you can set these options through Data Source Enterprise Explorer for an entire connection profile or for an individual database. However, if you change the preference settings, they override the connection profile and database settings and set all objects to display according to the option(s) you select in this tab.

Subgroup preferences also dictate how database objects appear by indicating how database objects are organized into folders.

Option | Description
--- | ---
Show Schema | Groups database objects under each schema name.
Show Database Object Owner | Displays database objects alphabetically with the owner name next to them, for example, Contacts (GROUPO).
