Description
Schema visualization in large databases becomes complex or useless. I believe the following features would be necessary:
- A search function (Ctrl + F) within the diagram
- The ability to open the schema visualization starting from a specific table. DBeaver handles this well: with Ctrl + Click you can navigate between different tables in the visualization. It also allows you to drag tables into the current schema view so they appear in the diagram.
- Other features, such as hiding tables in the visualization, would also be useful.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the schema visualization implementation in the VS Code PostgreSQL extension, then assess how search, table navigation, adding tables, and hiding tables would fit together; done would require a decided scope and working support for the selected features.
