- interface: it's about time we split the pages: db_detail and
tbl_properties.
Suggestions for the tbl_properties split
generally, we move large sections of tbl_properties to seperate pages
an [Export] link at the top, calling a page with the "view dump" dialog
Done.
- an [Attributes] link, for Alter table order by, Comments, Table type,
and the upcoming MyISAM
options (and InnoDB)
Well, "Alter table order by" needs the field list, so probably will stay on the first page. Still looking for a better word instead of [Attributes].
- an [Operations] link, for Rename, Move, Copy, Maintenance (4 items),
Flush, Drop (maybe Insert
data from a file)
Done (Insert data from a file: I need your opinion).
a [Structure] link, to show Fields and Indexes, + the Add field
(not sure about this) by default, users clicking on a table name
would see the familiar Browse,
Select, Insert, Empty, Drop + the 4 new links, at the top, but not the
structure. I find that most
of the time, I don't want to see the structure, I just want to type
queries, use bookmarks, and be
able to use the other main links.
Opinion about not seeing by default the structure?
I like that idea coz it always takes some time ( about 3-8 sec) to show the whole structure for my tables ( at least for the big once with lot of fields) and i never need that too. same for db_details if i select a database ( im not sure, but i think there is a config setting for that ... as for nearly everything *G* .. getting to that later on in the text)
One more thing about "...adding additional config setting ..." Im not sure how you guys feel but i think every one more configurable item ( via config file) is adding to the confusion at least for standard users. shoud'nt PMA be an easy to use tool for everybody !? or should it be a high-configurable Tools that might be able to fit every bodies need - i think most user will not find the config entry because they just use the tool but do not know all that behin-the-sciene things one would need to know about all that nice switches .. !?!? Ok the best would be a Web-Interface to set/select all the things .. but that would lead into an PMA owned Database/Table to store the values ... hmm and one more think every new switch for a new fantastic feature ( or is it a bug ... *G* ...) is also adding to the complexity of the code even now a lot of code is just there to check all of the switches, settings ....
