When you have a database with several tables/partitions (like +50000), opening a database branch in the Database Explorer is painfully slow. I remember this issue was addressed by MySQL Workbench years ago. The problem is that when you click on a database, the query being executed on the background is: SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM table. Other similar tools do instead: SHOW FULL TABLES FROM table, which is many times faster. HeidiSQL was the first Mysql tool to add an advanced connection checkbox GET FULL TABLE STATUS, so its up to you to enable it, which I find very cool. Workbench modified its code to avoid full table status, after several user complains and bug reports. I hope you modify this issue some time in the future, or find a solution for it. In the meantime, we wont be using Toad for MySQL at my company, since we deal with several objects per database and this issue makes it unusable. Thanks.
