Description

When I create new table I need to enter `TYPE` manually. It will be good to start typing and select value from list of suggestions. Sometimes I can forget what to type here - and I can see full list of available types and select on of them.

Something like this, as it works in MySQL Workbench.

Research direction

Start by locating the table-creation form and the TYPE input used when creating a new table. Review how available column types are represented, then make the field offer matching suggestions and allow one to be selected; done means users no longer need to remember or enter the type manually.
