Ohhh, I thought the modification only affects to the Recent Tables drop
down which we currently have.

So what is the need of current server drop down ? Change the database
server ?
Ideally if we provide "All", "Favorite", and "Recent" links, "All" should
equal "Favorite" plus "Recent".

I don't think we should modify the current navigation tree. If we do, I
think it's too much.
Any thoughts ?
