Hi,

I think if the user changes to full-text mode this setting will be permanently stored.  If we want to store the setting only for the respective table, it may enrich the user experience but I am afraid it may yield performance issues.  There are databases containing millions of tables, which is of course possible due to the excellent quality of MySQL database server, remembering settings for all these tables might be a huge task. 

May be I am over thinking.  But I won't be afraid to give it a try.

Thanks!

Hi,

Well, there are a certain set of preferences that are under consideration to be permanently stored.  The current complete list of these settings can be found on my weblog.

I am not totally sure about "full text mode."  Are you referring to "print mode."

Browse a table, click "Options" then "Full texts".


Thanks!

   How would you decide where ever user wants to change settings. If I
   change browsing to full text mode, do I want it only once, every time
   for this table or every time for all tables?
