Hi, This is about a feature request https://sourceforge.net/p/phpmyadmin/feature-requests/532/ for choosing database(s) to apply a sql query.I think we should add a drop-down near (aside clear/format buttons) query box for same. But this can be a problem if the user have access to thousand number of databases.
I'm not really in favor of this, though my opinion is not strong on the matter. I think it's adding clutter to the user interface for a feature few users will need; besides there are several ways of accomplishing basically the same although with perhaps an extra click or two. For instance, "Show this query here again" is persistent if changing databases; there's also the possibility to bookmark a query or simply copy and paste code. While I see how it could be useful to some users some of the time, I would vote no.
So,One of the solution I thought would be to keep it under configuration file for showing it or not and another solution can be by simply limiting number of databases (say 10) for showing the same. However it can increase some work for the user so I need suggestions for it's implementation. Thanks and Regards.
I'm against adding a configuration option about whether to show it; I might be willing to add one to configure how many databases to show (in which case we might make 0 "hide this option entirely").
