Duplicate table content by default

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When duplicating a table I believe the "Duplicate table content" option MUST be 
selected by default. 

It's not a huge issue if table contents are duplicated accidentally, but it 
might be a very big problem if table contents are not duplicated when that was 
intended.

I disagree.  Try accidentally duplicating a 13M record table.  

I highly doubt having to delete the new table and re-duplicating would cause a 
"very big problem", but having to wait for huge tables to repopulate and 
potentially causing a logjam in your mysql server would be an actual "very big 
problem".

My opinion, of course.

I'm afraid I agree with Mark on this one. Aside from potentially locking up 
your database in the event of accidentally duplicating the content of a very 
large table, there's also the possibility of disk space issues as a result of 
doing so. I'd class these as 'very big problems' which could take a 
significantly longer time to resolve than forgetting to duplicate the content 
of table and then immediately noticing once your application is not performing 
as expected.
