Select a db table in the explorer and try to add column via context menu 'Add Column...'. The IDE gets blocked for the whole time the column is being added to the table. Quite annoying. The same for 'Add Index...'
Wow, this is hard to test because it happens so quickly with a local server. What setup did you have that makes it take so long to add a column? I'll see if I can jigger the code to see if it actually blocks the IDE. I'm not sure if this is a P2 because (a) this is the first time a user has complained about it, and this is a common feature and (b) for most use cases adding a column is so fast as to be unnoticeable. Please explain why you think this should be a P2.
It seems Create Table suffers from the same problem. We need to fix this in all dialogs by adding a progress bar. I don't think it is doable for M1.

Even if it is not a frequent usecase, i don't see a justification for blocking awt by an remote call. > Please explain why you think this should be a P2. see http://qa.netbeans.org/bugzilla/bug_priority_guidelines.html - AWT thread blocked by a task which could run on background - No or inappropriate indication of progress of a running task

Verified with build 080722. It works for me. If it is reproducible for somebody, please feel free to reopen this issue. Thanks.
