I think that's debatable. When enabled, that's exactly what the button
would do. I don't think it's any different from other buttons that are
disabled because they don't apply in some circumstances.

Even if we ignore my comment about about the SQL help button, my
earlier comments still apply. Consistency is fundamental to user
comprehension and learning of a UI - we should not have some disabled
buttons that don't display their tooltips and others that do.
