Hi,
My first task is to have an interface for input criteria. We discussed
earlier to make use of table search page or multi-table query generator
for this. I was hoping for some comments regarding this.
The aim is to let the user select _*exactly two*_ columns(along with
some criteria) from a table. I prefer the table search page, it is less
complicated ( simple form, advanced options ). Also we do not need to
consider columns from multiple table so table search page will be more
focused. But the selection also depends on where all we want to put the
option of "Zoom search" in phpMyAdmin. So should this feature be a
separate component or should it be available on table search page/
multi-table query generator (or both) ?

Hi Ammar,
my answer is based on the assumption that the table Search page is more
known than the multi-table query generator -- it's been my experience so
far, anyway.
I suggest to add in table Search, Options section a checkbox "Zoom
search"; when checked, another section would reveal itself, containing
particular options for this feature.
Or the Zoom search checkbox could be always visible, to better promote it.
Also, when checked, the "Select columns" section could be changed to
guide the user into selecting exactly two columns. Not sure if the
current "select multiple" control is the best in this case, it's up to
you to propose something suitable.
However I'm not sure how this would integrate with the multi-table query
generator.
