I don't know, but can you tell me more about this function. Right now,
it is a huge pain to import data from identical databases with multiple
tables. You have to do a separate Import for each table. Does feature
allow you to import that data with a single command?

I beleive it lets you import the table -definitions-. You'd still have
to import the data. Its more a development feature not an operational or
maintenance feature.

Well that's a start. You should have been able to import field
definitions for a long time now. The new features in FM8 seem more
like bells & whistles than fundamental functions that would make our
lives easier.

Yep. Its a pretty fundamental feature that will make our lives easier.

Some of them yes: (pdf, xls, alignment tool, email-a-field...)
others no: table import defs, tabs, script variables

Its a pretty good mix actually of bells and whistles and new features.
Like the others though I am seriously missing the ability to view
relationships as text. The graph has its place... but...

Back to the original question. . . Is the table import feature a part
of the regular edition or only the Advanced Version (formerly developer)?

Actually basic table import appears to be in 8 "regular".

But advanced will let you copy and paste tables, field defs, scripts,
and script steps.
