Quick question: why do we have two forms for renaming a table on tbl_operations.php? Can one be dropped? Please see attached screenshot for the location of forms.

The difference is probably in implementation - in same database, you can use just RENAME, for moving data to other database, this might fail, so basically it's CREATE TABLE and INSERT .. SELECT.

Still it would be better to merge these and use RENAME when possible and fallback to complex method if needed.

I'm not sure these should be merged. In the mind of some users, renaming and moving are different actions.
