Description:
When loading a large schema in the SQL Editor, there is no indication that the schema is being loaded, and instead, it displays as no schema objects.

Tables (0 items)
Views (0 items)
Routines (0 items)

This is quite disconcerting, particularly if the metadata acquisition takes a long time (say, a 200+ table schema on 5.0.76).

How to repeat:
Use MySQL 5.0.67 or an older version for maximum impact, but observable in recent versions as well.

Select a schema with 200+ tables.

Suggested fix:
Provide some indication that the required metadata is being retrieved from the server.

Fixed as of 5.2.36, and here's the changelog entry:

Selecting a schema with a large number of tables (e.g., 200+) would
indicate that the schema was empty.
