I have implemented it by adding an extra column named 'col_Attribute' in central columns table so as there would be no confusion regarding it but as quoted by <a href="https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/1511" target="_blank">Madhura on github</a> there will be many problem regarding this.
