Original Redmine Issue: 13384
Affected QGIS version: master
Redmine category:db_manager
Assignee: Giuseppe Sucameli


Open DB Manager and try to export to vector file one of the tables of the database;
In the opening dialog, there's an option labelled "Drop existing one". What's it about?
I think it's about deletion of the to-be-exported table (I'm not sure though), but i think it should be better labelled or have an informative text while hovering.

Somehow duplicated of #21040. The text was replaced with proposed "Replace existing table" one.

BTW if we are exporting the selected table to file (instead of to a different database), that text is meaningless...
It must be changed to something like "Overwrite destination (if exists)".

Suggestions?


  • fixed_version_id was changed from Future Release - High Priority to Future Release - Lower Priority
  • status_id was changed from Open to Feedback
  • priority_id was changed from Normal to Low

Wrong, the text is different between export to file (i.e. "Drop existing one") and to a different database (i.e. "Replace existing table").
