What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to the database functions page, and click on the name of a table which
contains no records.
2. Observe that the only thing that appears here is the message telling you
which table and version you're looking at, and the 'Add new record' button.
3.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If the table contains records, then in addition to the above, you see the
record count, the field names, and the table contents. Obviously, if the table
is empty, there are no contents, but at the last user testing session, I got
the definite impression that people still expected to see a record count
(indicating that there were 0 records) and the field names even if the table
was empty, and found it confusing when this was missing.
I think at least part of what's going on here is that people expect to see
_something_ when they view a table, and when they don't, it worries them - they
think something has gone wrong.
If there's a technical reason why it's hard to show a record count of 0 and/or
the field names without any records under them, an alternative possibility
would be to show a message saying 'This table is empty' or something similar.
The record count and field names would be better, though.
