Description:
If you have no schema, and run a "Synchronize" it will just delete everything.

How to repeat:
1. Open Workbench.
2. Close EVERY possible window, so it is nothing but grey.
3. In a db server run the following commands..
      create database testing;
      create table foobar (helloid integer);
4. Go to Database>Synchronize
5. When you get to "Select Schemata", choose testing.
6. Click next til you get to "SQL Diff Tree"
   You should see something like this >>> http://i14.tinypic.com/7wrttl1.jpg
7. Click next twice, then finish.
8. Query your db, and testing is now gone.

Suggested fix:
Don't allow the "Target" to be updated to "N/A", or atleast give the user a warning that because the model had nothing, the "Target" will be dropped.

This happened to me already. Thankfully it was just a logging db/table that wasn't needed anyway on our Dev environment.

Thank you for the bug report.

This behavior is as expected. Hiding the overview window doesn't have any impact on the data model.

expected behaviour, not a bug
