Hi,
As the 1st phase of my GSoC project - "Refactoring: Designer/schema
integration", I've started the task 1, which is "Providing a single GUI
editor for schema".
As the "Designer" and "Edit relational schema" pages share
overlapping
functionalities, the idea is to bring these two pages and have a more
improved page alone.Under this, functionalities of the "Designer" will be
improved in such a way, by combining features of the "Edit relational
schema" page.
For that I've created some mockups, and already published in my
blog<http://kbyashodha.blogspot.com/2014/05/first-week-of-gsoc-2014.html…
.
Great!

As shown in the above figure, I've introduced two new buttons into the
"Designer" page, and followings are the functionalities:
*Edit page: *A user can edit/delete an existing page.
*Save as: *coordinates of the table layout can be saved to an existing
page or to a new page.
Apart from these two, while the user is loading the designer page,
- if there are previously saved pages exist, the the first page will
be loaded into the designer by default.
It would be useful to display the loaded page's name somewhere, so the
user is
not confused.
- if there are no such saved pages, then the default table layout will
be loaded.
In this case the page name can be *New or something similar.
The second icon from right side used to provide functionality to
import/export coordinates from/to pdf pages. This needs to be removed.
