Salutations!
I today worked myself into the relation/comments database. On the way to getting the system to know I improved the following things:
* Print column comments in 'Browse' View (optionally, via $cfg-Variable) in the heading row (both vertical&horizontal mode - BTW, good I worked on my own code there, I think it's somehow getting more complex to work on)
* Enable the javascript 'setPointer'-Function to correctly mark rows in vertical display
I think the comment-feature needs some other work to be done. I'm volunteering to do the following, if that is okay with you:
* Display column comments in the main page 'tbl_properties_structure', either as MouseOver/Title or as an extra cell inside the whole table
* Display column comments in 'tbl_alter' and make it editable there
* When updating column comments, check for no-more existing columns and delete entries in this DB
* Make a link for cleaning up column comments - to delete every entry to which no corresponding db->table->column exists
I think this won't take too long. I'm just asking if anybody objects to my changes or if anybody else is working on that. My changes would affect quite a lot places, so I they won't get checked in for the current 2-4-0.
BTW, is there anything special I have to watch out for when providing diffs for the project? I have never worked (not just patched) on a CVS project I haven't had write-access to...
