Thankyou for the recent changes, it looks a lot better regarding import
of tables.
One remaining issue is that if the user selects a database which
contains a schema but the schema contains no tables, the DD Import
Tables dialog still proceeds even though there are no tables to import.
In the database design creation of new tables, there are some issues
with deleting of tables in the design.
1. After delete of table in designer window, window does not refresh.
Example:
- import new table
- request delete of table
- dialog appears requesting info on delete from design or model
- select design only
- dialog disappears, but the table box does not
- click on the table in design window and table disappears
- is it possible to have the last step complete automatically?
2. Confusing delete of table object after delete from designer only
Example:
- import new table
- request delete
- dialog appears, user selects design window only
- user clicks on the table box in designer window and box disappears,
but stays in browser - this is correct
- user realizes he pressed the wrong button,
looks for a way to delete the table from the model
- table delete icon is still active but does not operate on the browser
window items
- right click on table name in browser panel produces no context
sensitive floating menu
- one way to work around is to drag the table back into the designer and
repeat the delete process, this time select option 'delete from model'
- suggestion 1: create right click context menu with delete table from
browser which deletes the table from both browser and design (if
necessary) windows together with any relationships, (possibly with
warning dialog if relationships exist)
- suggestion 2: allow keyboard input 'delete' key to delete active table
in browser
