<br>
Deven has done nice work on the print view[0] pull request but we've hit<br>
a bit of a grey area with regards to what to do with a view count. In<br>
the database structure page, in the standard "screen-based interface" we<br>
provide an approximate row count for a view and the user can click on<br>
the row count to get an exact number.<br>
<br>
With print view, we could handle this in a couple of ways, each of which<br>
has a tradeoff. I think these are the two that I find most appealing.<br>
<br>
1) We could only provide an approximate count. This is programmatically<br>
easiest and provides instant results, but might frustrate some users.<br>
<br>
2) We could provide an exact count, computed when the user presses the<br>
print button. We should probably display a dialog during the counting<br>
such as "Getting an exact count for views, the print dialog will appear<br>
once the MySQL server is done counting." A shortcoming is that the count<br>
would only be triggered by the "Print View" link, not when they use<br>
their print function of the browser. Users with many complex views may<br>
not care about an exact count and may want a quick print dialog, so we<br>
might need to provide yet another configuration directive about this.<br>
<br>
How does the rest of the team feel about this?<br>
