What if, instead of a 'recently used tables drop down list' there
would be a bunch of icons that allow (ajax request-)sorting of
tables/databases by different criterias such as:
- most recently used
- most commonly used
- table/db size

Similar to chromes omnibar that suggests addresses that are most
commonly used, this seems somehow more intuitive than a drop down
list.
