6. A device for searching a hierarchical database structure of a database management system, the device comprising: one or more processors; a search unit executable by the one or more processors and configured to detect text input in a database search field of a graphical user interface of a computer system, wherein the text input defines a search for data in the hierarchical database structure, wherein the hierarchical database structure includes items, indexes for looking up data in the hierarchical database structure, and database schemas defining databases in the hierarchical database structure, and wherein the items include one or more of actions to be performed on data in the hierarchical database structure; if the text input does not include text specifying a path in the hierarchical database structure, determining that there is no exact match between the text input and items in the hierarchical database; select items for presentation on the graphical user interface from the hierarchical database structure based on the text input for inclusion in search results, wherein the text input includes one or more keywords specifying one or more filters to be applied to during selection of items in the hierarchical database structure, wherein the one or more filters include one or more filters to exclude views, sequences or stored procedures; detect input representing a user's selection of one of a plurality of logically related selectable options, wherein the one of the plurality of logically related selectable options is associated with one of the items in the search results; and a presentation unit executable by the one or more processors and configured to, in response to a determination that there is no exact match between the text input and items in the hierarchical database, present the search results in the graphical user interface on a display device, the search results comprising items in the hierarchical database that are potentially related to the text input, wherein an entry for an item in the search results includes at least one lexicographically related identifier for a table name corresponding to an item in the search results and a logically related selectable option of the plurality of selectable options associated with a table corresponding to the table name, wherein the logically related selectable option comprises an action to be performed with respect to the table, the action including at least one of drop table, view data, query or view hierarchy for altering the table from the hierarchical database structure.

The device of claim 6 , wherein a second entry for an item in the search results includes the least one lexicographically related identifier for the table name corresponding to an item in the search results and a second logically related selectable option of the plurality of selectable options associated with the table corresponding to the table name, wherein the second logically related selectable option comprises a second action to be performed with respect to the table, the second action including at least one of drop table, view data, query, or view hierarchy.
