I've just noticed that the Create Table dialog is a modal form, preventing browsing of other objects whilst creating a new table.
This isn't ideal if you want to refer to fields in other tables to determine required field sizes, types, naming conventions, etc.
I may be missing something but I can't see a good reason to prevent browsing of existing objects whilst designing a new one.
Vince,
The schema query is now changed in the 8.0.2 version.

Re: Create Table form is modal
Vince,
TAB can now be used to close the data type list in the 8.0.3 version:
"If I type VARCHAR into the Data Type column and then press TAB I'd expect it to jump to the Size column. At present I have to press ENTER before I can TAB to the next column."

Re: Create Table form is modal
Hi,
We have discussed making the dialog non-modal and will probably do this, or something else that describes the problem you describe, in a future release along with other usability changes. I have added you vote for it.
Best Regards,
Hans
