I'd like to request that the "Recreate the database" option that shows when importing a database be unchecked by default.
This is definitely my fault for moving too quickly: I imported a single table dump and forgot to uncheck that box, causing the entire database to be wiped out. I had just made a backup dump, so all is well, but I would imagine that not everyone will think to do so.
Since "Recreate the database" is extremely destructive, I think it might be best to have that checkbox *not* enabled by default when importing a database. If it's not enabled, the worst that will happen is the data will fail to be imported. When it *is* enabled, an entire database can be lost.
