Currently, the tables in a database (I am using a Postgres) database shows up as tiles.
I also use python + django.
As such, my table names are pretty long.
For example, a table name could be like:
appnameimportantfinancialdatacategories appnameimportantfinancialdatalists
These both show up as:
appnameimportantfi… appnameimportantfi…
As such, it becomes difficult to figure out which is which from the interface.
It would be wonderful if we had a simple list view here instead of having a tiled view which causes names to be truncated and I have to open all of them to try and figure out which one I want.
Thanks!

There's far more wrong with the data tab than just doesn't handle long names very well, I would highly recommend you use a proper database GUI client, the data tab in my opinion should only be used as a sort of "yeah there's some data here" sanity check.

Noted and agreed.
I agree with you Brody.
I do not intend to use the data tab for serious operations - but every once in a while, you are in a situation in which you can't (or don't want) to fire up your GUI client -- but still want to do a quick look up to see if things are working OK.
And if the data tab exists -- and is pretty functional, I think it is a shame that this is such a low hanging fruit to improve the UX and is not being tackled.

You could instead deploy the dbgate template into your project and use that instead?
