Annoying Object Explorer Details behavior

  • I am in the process of creating a bunch of shell databases to later restore over. In SQL 2012, when I have the explorer details page on the database level and right-click -> New Database, it creates the database and leaves me on the database level to see all the databases. In SQL 2017, it creates the database and automatically forces me down a level to see all the "bits" of the database I just created (tables, programmability, etc.).

    How do I turn this behavior off? I don't want to leave the database view yet and I don't see anything in Tools -> Options that can be unclicked.

  • If you press the left-arrow it goes back to the Databases node.

  • I don't want to do that. I would have to do it for every single database I create. That gets really really annoying and each click takes up extra time I don't want to waste. Hence the reason I'm looking to turn the behavior off.

    If it was just once or twice, I'd deal. But I'm going to be doing this a lot as I set up our new servers.

  • If you are doing that many databases, wouldn't you be better off generating a script to create them? Then you'd just need one click to create them all.
