No, we expect Bill Gates to buy our software as soon as it is ported to ASP and supports MS-SQL and Access.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.5.4 Schedule
by Rabus 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi list, The current status of phpMyAdmin looks pretty stable to me, so what about 2.5.4-rc1 and QA_2_5_4 branch-out on Sunday? I think, we have merged some fixes that should find their way into a release version soon. :-) In this case, the schedule would look as follows: 2.5.4 branch point and RC1: 09/28 Final release (or RC2): 10/12 Alt. final release (if RC2): 10/26 Would this be OK for you? Regards, Alexander

The problem is that although those users may change a user's privileges, they are not automatically allowed to view the current privileges. This makes developing a GUI for this purpose really hard. We could use the conroluser to read the privileges the current user may alter, but this should not be the default behavior of phpMyAdmin. While revising server_privileges.php3, I thought about splitting it up into server_privileges.php3, db_privileges.php3, tbl_privileges.php3 and libraries/privileges_common.lib.php3. If I did so, I could try to find a way to merge this feature. Regards, Alexander

[Phpmyadmin-devel] WITH GRANT OPTION
by Marc Delisle 22 Sep '03

Hi, From the manual: "The WITH GRANT OPTION clause gives the user the ability to give to other users any privileges the user has at the specified privilege level. " I would be interesting if the Privileges pages could be used for normal users that have WITH GRANT OPTION. Marc
