• Folder Icon:

Visible after expanding the database icon, used for grouping and organizing various object types within databases and instances. For example, the database folder contains tables, views, stored procedures, security, etc.

The folder icons under an instance are used to organize and group different categories of database objects and server settings, including: Databases、Security、Server Objects、Replication、Management、SQL Server Agent.

• Database Icon:

Will see all the objects in this database, such as tables, views, stored procedures, functions,etc.

Answer 2

Hi @BenTam ,

for me it looks like the first icon is a "Folder" which might contain some other objects (click on the + in front of the folder icon).

The second Icon is a database and if you expand the icon tree (+ in front of the database icon).
