Personally I like the drag and drop model.  I would like it for other
things in DB too.  Maybe a row of small icons in the bottom?
A delete,  a edit and a beam icon.  You would drag the rows and drop
them there.  You could also add some icons to give quick access to
Edit List Views and Edit Database Design.

Perhaps that could be used for the list views to allow you to drag the
different fields around instead of using the menus of all fields for
each line which I thought was a bit clunky.

The other thing that would be nice, would be if you could tap the
titles of each column in a database to sort on that field.
(I kept doing that when I read sorting had been implemented)
Maybe with small icon which would toggle descending/ascending.

Just some ideas which some may dislike,  I happen to like the drag and
drop style of interface.
