Hi all!
What do our decent developers think of Bug #731866 and #731367? I didn't notice that before and face some of those problems myself. But, to be honest, I don't have a clue about what's going on...
Garvin, I checked bug 731866. The problem is that we are using PMA_mysql_field_type(), which returns 'blob' when field type is 'text'. libraries/build_dump.lib.php3 is the only place we use PMA_mysql_field_type(). In fact, in phpMyAdmin we always avoided using mysql_field_type(), because of this problem. See in tbl_change.php3, how we set $is_blob, with "SHOW FIELDS FROM...". We are using "SHOW FIELDS" in a lot of places. So maybe remove PMA_mysql_field_type() and do a generic PMA_get_field_type() which does not use mysql_field_type(). Marc
