Table shown in Database, but not in Table editor

Bug report

Describe the bug

I had a table email_history, which I believe I’ve deleted. It is no longer shown in “Table editor”, but it is still shown under Database > Tables

To Reproduce

Not sure how to reproduce. See above how it happened.

@soedirgo aaaah! That must be it. I must have closed it.

I see what you do here guys and why I got confused.

It’s similar to Airtable: the button on the far left is to choose which tables to look at / edit, and the plus button on the right hand side after last tab is to create a new table. I got confused because Airtable (which I use a lot) always shows all tables. The button on the left hand side is only to jump between tables quickly.

For Supabase it makes sense to not always show all tables, because the projects built on Supabase are more likely to have many more tables. In Airtable we have over 30 tables, which already don’t fit on my 32" screen, so I have to scroll horizontally… which is annoying, because I usually only work with like 4-7 tables at the same time withing periods of months.

However! I would not compare Supabase to Airtable. Here is what I would do if I was in charge of UX here:

• Keep showing only a few selected tables at a time
• Move creating tables or any kind of DDL from Table editor away to Database
• Change the button on the right hand side after the last table tab to open existing tables

In other words: Table editor: DML Database: DDL

This is naturally subjective from my point of view and might not fit into your overall vision / UX design.

Ah yeah I can see how that’s confusing.

@MildTomato @joshenlim let’s add this one to the UX backlog.

Thanks for your patience on this one @peachp . I’ll close the issue for now but feel free to continue commenting
