Hi list,
There's a small change that I'd like to see in 2.6.1, but I don't have the time to implement it.
MySQL 4.1 supports adding comments on column level. Afaik, phpMyAdmin only supports its own column comments, but not MySQL's native ones.
On top of that, I think that column comments don't fit into the relation overview. I'd rather move the interface to the table structure editor.
This should be the preferred way to perform this operation.
Comments?
Regards,
Hi Alexander,
The "internal" column comments interface is _already_ available in the table structure editor. So I guess it's just a matter of removing it from the relation view... The only advantage of having it in the relation view is to quickly add column comments to many columns. I think we could remove this "feature".
For the 4.1 column commenting, yes it would be a welcome addition. I wonder if we should do like in the relation view, where we offer both internal relations and InnoDB relations. Some people might already have internal column comments and we have to show them, but they want to add native 4.1 comments. We could even do the switch ourselves.
Please comment on this, then I could find some time this week to implement it.
