I would get rid of the "Drop" link on the top of the page,
Hum, why?
Having it in such an easily-accessible place doesn't seem safe to me. I suppose you might say the same about empty, though.
then move the BSID links from above the table properties to below the table properties.
Their current position is more convenient IMHO: if you have a table with many fields and just want to insert a row, it's no really an amazing game to scroll and scroll and scroll... the page till you reach the bottom of the table properties. On the opposite, having these links at top do not really change anything with many fields: even without this "command line", you'll have to scrool down to see a field near the end of the field list.
Fair enough. Maybe then we should have the links at the top, then when the table has more than 20 fields another could be added below.
I thought we had already discussed that char binary and varchar binary fields don't necessarily hold binary data;
Neither do BLOB fields, isn't it? And since we have a setting in the configuration file to protect binary blobs....
Maybe we should have two separate variables then; one for BLOBs, and one for varchar binary / char binary.
