What I'd like to see is something like what ER Win does allowing me to show /
hide tables based on a category (but better than theirs since they have a big
flaw where you can have tables with the same name in different "views" without
using different "schemas").

For example, I might create a "view" (ER Win's, not SQL view ;-)) named
"Customers" and there I'd have all my tables that deals with clients. Then I
might have another "view" named "Suppliers" and do the same. Tables might be
visible in several categories so that besides those two I could also see some
of these tables within the "Finances" "view".

This is very important when you have lots of tables (people here with projects
using 5K tables know what I mean :-))

It shouldn't be -- graphically -- all that hard to implement this
separation... So I believe it might be something they hold a patent for
because I've never seen another tool with this feature.
