The SQL editor will show the database objects in this section. Open the schema of interest and within that the tables or views list to see the database objects you can use. Each item in the tree has different behavior. The action menu presented in the menu bar but also when you right click the item shows the actions you can perform on that object. You can drag and drop items into the SQL text area. You can also right click an item and select an action. You can generate most used SQL statements from this menu.
