In Management Studio, you can right click on the tables group to create a filter for the table list. Has anyone figured out a way to include multiple tables in the filter? For example, I'd like all tables with "br_*" and "tbl_*" to show up.
Anyone know how to do this?
You might be able to roll your own addon to SMSS that would allow you to do what you are looking for:
The Black Art of Writing a SQL Server Management Studio 2005 Add-In
Extend Functionality in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio with Add-ins
The first one is specifically for searching and displaying all schema objects with a given name so you might be able to expand upon that for what you are looking for.
