Hi, I was training someone new to phpMyAdmin this morning and she was surprised by the interface's behavior.
After Operations > Empty the table, the interface tries to browse the table, then goes to the Structure page. She did not expect this.
Maybe, when browsing an empty table, we should avoid to go to
Structure?
Sorry, I think I'm a bit confused. If I go in to a table's Operations
tab
and click the Empty button, I get a popup warning if I want to truncate
the
table. After pressing OK, I'm left on the Operations tab with a popup notification giving the results. At no point am I redirected to any
other
page. The behavior I'm seeing is what I would expect -- is yours
behaving
differently or am I misunderstanding the steps to reproduce?
I saw this behavior this morning on 4.0.0-rc2, but I cannot reproduce it right now. I'll try to recreate the needed steps.
I remember seeing the table Structure tab being active and the structure displayed; also the "SELECT * from tablename" was shown, with a message "empty result set".
Forgetting the Operations aspect of it, you can see what I mean by clicking on Browse for an empty table.
In that case, I see that "Browse" and "Search" are grey text instead of black, with a red X cursor when mousing over. As a result, I automatically assume that those aren't actual links. That being said, I think I recall that we made them links some time ago because someone was populating data by some external means and wanted to be able to browse the new data without having to navigate away and back in phpMyAdmin. I think it's not intuitive, but then again, it's probably not meant to be.
All that aside, I agree with your statement; Browse should go to the browse page regardless and not to Structure.
