I think that's an acceptable solution, provided it works well. *IFF*
it is very very very very clear to the user that this is what happens
(extra warning dialog(s), please!). A lot of people have tables small
enough that this is not a problem.
And remember that it's not quite as trivial as one would initially
think - you still need to recreate all indexes and foreign keys and
sutff. But it's certainly doable.
