Not sure I like the point either. We don't have that notation on PostgreSQL. I think I would prefer something like "Retrieving details on table schema.table" and not say the database. Because if you add the database, someone will probably want also the server. It may not be usefull to you, but it'll come at some point. And that's quite a lot of informations.
I agree.
Probably we could add some status boxes in the status bar. For exemple, a box with a "user@database (server)" (with a lock icon if you use SSL for example. Just a thought.
I liked the idea!
We could add status boxes in front of the information "Retrieving details ...".
For example, suppose that is the status bar:
With 3 status boxes:
|| "Retrieving details on schema.table" || user@database || server ||
or with 2 status boxes:
|| "Retrieving details on schema.table" || user@database ( server ) ||
