Description:
Morning,

Having looked at it for a while now. I think the way the indices are displayed in MySQL administrator is incorrect and unintentional, or at least bad and more difficult to follow than needs be.

When you select the indices tab when viewing a Schemata, you get a list of all the indices in the entire database.

This list is broken down into tables and columns. Each Column has the table name above it and you can close the table name.

The problem is that each table name is listed more than once, which in my opinion is not the best way to display and I wonder if it was intentional.

I think what what meant to happen was that the each table name should have a list of indices underneath it so you can expand colapse each table at once. Even a small database has far too many indices to display in the current format and a larger one would be a nightmare.

Therefore I think you should rearrange as above, so each table has its indices listed and you can colapse a table at a time. There is simply no benefit from having one column under each table and multiple table names.

How to repeat:
Just have a look.

Suggested fix:
Just alter the display.

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Administrator into MySQL Workbench. We won't add this feature request anymore.
