I have an improvement suggestion for DBeaver.
When you view a schema, several folders appear: tables, views, indexes, procedures, sequences, and data types.
It would be nice to create another folder specifically for aliases.
Often, you can generate aliases in a schema that reference another schema. These aliases are created as if they were files in the tables folder of my schema, and you cannot differentiate them from other files that you can delete.
Everyone knows that if you delete an alias, you end up deleting the file from the other schema

What database are you talking about? Could you provide a documentation reference to alias entity?

The database I'm referring to is IBM DB2.
Here's a link to the documentation on how to create an alias in DB2: [https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=elements-aliases].

As I mentioned earlier, an alias in DB2 creates a file in your schema that references another file from a different schema. The problem is that the alias file appears identical in terms of form, icon, etc., within the 'tables' folder of the schema.

My suggestion is to differentiate these alias files by placing them in a separate folder labeled 'alias' within the database schema. This would make it easier to distinguish aliases from other files. Do you think this is feasible?"
Thank you

Here is how the schema would look with the proposed changes:

Schema
Tables
Views
Indexes
Procedures
Sequences
Data Types
Aliases (new folder for alias files)
By introducing a separate 'Aliases' folder within the schema, it becomes easier to organize and differentiate between the various database objects and the alias files, which currently appear identical to other files in the 'Tables' folder."
