Description:
I am accessing a MySQL database remotely through VPN.  I created several tables using the MySQL Control Center (with both the SQL Editor and the Table "Wizard").  That went okay, but now if I try to run a "DESCRIBE table_name;" command, the client stalls until it eventually must be shutdown.  I've tried to access this remotely using the MySQL Control Center and locally (through Windows Terminal Server) using MySQL Control Center and the SQL Command Line tool.

How to repeat:
Create a table remotely using the MySQL Control Center and then try to run the command: "DESCRIBE table_name;".  It just stalls until I shutdown the program.

Suggested fix:
No idea.

Thank you for your interest in the MySQL graphical administration tools.
We recommend that you use our MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query
Browser.  The MySQLGUI and MySQL Command Center legacy products are
deprecated, and we are no longer maintaining those projects.
