Task #49162: Rewrite install tool
Installer: Show only empty databases? Offer to overwrite TYPO3-related tables?
100%
Description
Since commit 2e3c9d5e25e5beadafebca949de3e05eeb6f120a in 6.2 the installer now only shows empty databases (zero tables) in the dropdown to choose an existing database from (DatabaseSelect.php). But the help-text still points out that it will overwrite all typo3-related tables in that database.
We should either imho show all databases again or remove that comment.
If we choose to display only empty databases imho we should still highlight that other databases exist but are not usable (disabled entries in the dropdown? ...).
Personally I'd like to see all databases again, maybe with a hint/warning that it already contains data.

This was adapted already: On installation only empty db's are shown, if upgrading and this step need execution for whatever reason, all databases are shown. I think this is good, casual users should not see non empty databases during installation to not harm existing data. The shown text however is a bit misleading and should be updated.
