Table editing in HeidiSQL has various legacy stuff inside which is really old and needs some fresh new ideas. So I took issue #436, various hours to think and started to create a new table designer. Ideas:
- the table tab should go away as we don't have only tables any longer, there are several other types of database objects added in recent MySQL versions, e.g. stored routines, views. So, a own tab only for tables tends to get inconsistent
- same applies for the Data tab
- like views or stored routines, add a new modal dialog which offers creating and editing tables. Which not only includes columns, but also indexes and advanced options like row format and such things.
