Description:
When MySQL Administrator can not get result from DESC TABLE or SHOW STATUS queries due server misconfiguration it shows error message "Could not fetch schema". But this message is not descriptive and can confuse users. See also Bug #28140 and Bug #27996.

How to repeat:
See description, also comment "[7 Jun 12:51] Sveta Smirnova" to Bug #28140 and Bug #28942

Suggested fix:
Make error message more descriptive to get user know the cause is server misconfiguration. This allow users fix problem.

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.
