I believe that adding this star icon + "Favourite" as an action takes too much space.

By the way, in American English it should be "Favorite".

Comments?

And there is also no indication as to whether a table is already is the

favorite list. How about having a gray/gold star - depending on whether the table is in favorite list - without any text, just like what we get in email client to 'Star' emails? Clicking on the gray star would make it gold and add it to favorite list and clicking on a gold start would make it gray and remove the table from the favorite list.

I agree, but think Madhura's suggestion is good to have a grey or yellow star which toggle state. This should be well understood behavior to users.

Right, I agree with this.

I would still prefer to see a different display of favorites in the navigation bar. I don't think a dropdown is the most friendly way to do this. My preferred means would be to have text links appear where the Favorites dropdown is in the mockup; the text would read "All | Favorites". Clicking the Favorites link would show favorite databases and favorite tables (with no hiding of anything; everything would always expand fully); of course the All link would toggle back to our current display.
