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.
Well, I have a dilemma about this form in my branch. With the "rename" functionality in the table options form, a dedicated ajax handler is necessary for it to work. Without, the form can be handled by a generic page loading mechanism, which means less code and a more maintainable solution.
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.
I see, it sounds a bit more complicated than I was hoping for.
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.
Then we could call it "rename/move"...
I would be happy with that. It would have the added benefit of removing the rename table dialog from the table options fieldset, where it does not really belong.
