Hi
it has been already opened in another thread, but just to make the discussion separate, I start it again.
I don't think there is much sense having Drop/Truncate as tabs. First of all these are not tabs leading to some specific page, but rather an actions. Second I think these are quite rarely used actions so they don't deserve such prominent place.
How about moving these to Operations tab, just like other things to do with table/database?

Just to clarify, it's Empty and Drop.

I agree but I would like to preserve the "red" danger aspect.

Changed in Git, is it okay this way?

Yes but let's try to find a better heading than "Table removal" to represent the links "Empty the table (TRUNCATE)" and "Drop the table (DROP)".
Or ... can't these links go under "Table maintenance"?

I thought it is better to put them to separate section, just to avoid mistakes. Anyway I don't think that dropping table is maintenance :-).

While we are at it, can the database Operations page be changed to look more like table Operations? Currently one has two column layout (which I like because it allows more options to fit on a screen) and the latter one uses one column layout.

Yes they should be changed to look identical (two/one column, icons for sections,...).

Ok but emptying a table is not really "table removal".

As the legend for most other boxes have an active verb like "move" or "copy", here is a suggestion:
Delete data or table
Empty the table (TRUNCATE) Delete the table (DROP)
