While it's nice to impress new users to use this 'drag a file into a database' feature :-) .... I think it's also a 'shoot and run' solution: either OK or nothing...
Would it be an idea to (sorry dialog haters) have a summary/confirmation dialog in between this action? Telling the user that 'this file/table with such columns be copied/moved to that file/table with these columns'? In this case, it would also have made it possible to stop this overwrite action?
