Background

A Data Dictionary had to be produced for our MySQL databases and we found that there was no functionality to do this. A page was written and I incorporated it into our version of phpMyAdmin. It was also noticed that the print view did not print too well for each individual table so the file for this was tweaked to enable proper printing.

Files Changed

tbl_printview.php3 db_details_structure.php3 - to include a link to the db_datadict.php3 file lang/english-iso-8859-1.inc.php3 - to include $strDataDict db_datadict.php - new file which produces the full data dictionary and prints each table at the start of a new page. header.inc.php3 - to include a .print style

<<db_details_structure.php3>> <<db_datadict.php3>> <<header.inc.php3>> <<tbl_printview.php3>> <<english-iso-8859-1.inc.php3>>

Our development team have all seen this change and have been very positive about it. I think this would be a good addition to any future releases of phpMyAdmin.

Could you please let me know what you think

Thanks
