While it's nice to impress new users to use this 'drag a file into a<br>
database' feature :-) .... I think it's also a 'shoot and run' solution:<br>
either OK or nothing...<br>
<br>
Would it be an idea to (sorry dialog haters) have a summary/confirmation<br>
dialog in between this action? Telling the user that 'this file/table<br>
with such columns be copied/moved to that file/table with these columns'?<br>
<br>
In this case, it would also have made it possible to stop this overwrite<br>
action?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I don't think it's a good design: if the result of the action is reversible a confirm dialog is unnecessary, and we are trying to elminate all unnecessary modals.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- if the drop is on self: abort<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">- if the drop does not override and hence creates a new table: notify on success or error<o:p></o:p></p>
