Folders for tables/view

[flashios09]

Hi,

Thanks for this awesome mac application 👍
I want to suggest a feature :
Possibility to create folders to group tables/view

This is a duplicate of at least #402, (partly #582), #1037, #1800 and another one I can't find anymore because the merging info got lost during Google Code -> GitHub migration.

@dmoagx i know it's DUPLICATED but i can't find an answer of this request ! that's why i create a new ticket

@dmoagx #402 isn't a duplicate, it's asking us to implement a weird phpMyAdmin convention that I'm pretty sure is disabled by default and for good reason since it's not compatible with common table naming conventions

#582 is about databases, not tables

#1037 and #1800 are the same issue, but they were closed 3 years ago and should be reconsidered, especially since this would tie in well with #2480 which also requires attaching metadata to tables somehow.

[dmoagx]

#402 is the only option I see without storing additional metadata (which I'm totally against) and most of the time it will probably be only people wanting to group their wp_* tables from their cms_* or whatever tables so I consider that the easiest solution.

@dmoagx I don't see any problem with saving it as part of the connection favourite. I wasn't thinking of actually storing anything in the database.

[dmoagx]

The problem I see is that, as soon as we add something like that, we'll get requests to make it shared for teams or users with multiple devices.
So we'll either have to start storing metadata in the DB or we'll have to redesign the favorite storage to support sharing (#2502).
