Adding custom folders to your SSMS Object Explorer with this free addin...

SQL Treeo - Download free SSMS Add-In to create custom folders for database objects

"...

I observed that I search for object in two ways:

• I know full or part object’s name – I use free Red Gate’s SQL Search Add-In (unfortunately, I have issue with integrating it with my add-in now). To make long story short, you can find any object very quickly with this add-in.
• I can’t remember any part of object’s name – I was lost at this point and doomed to browsing for object in standard e.g. Stored procedure node.

Second of mentioned points was the key driver to develop this add-in for me. I’ve even found similar commercial solution (for $65) but it supports only one level hierarchy. I employed SQL object schemas for emulating one level hierarchy before and it was simply not enough for me.

My Add-in currently supports following:

• Create custom folders in SSMS’s object explorer using drag&drop. It works for databases, stored procedures, functions, views and tables
• Ctrl+click on object will bring ALTER script
• Perform bulk operations in explorer-style management dialog – I did that because while I was refactoring and re-foldering more objects, drag&drop was not enough

See this short video or following screenshot to find how it works:
