[Phpmyadmin-devel] PBMS tables

Hi, is there any reason for hiding PBMS tables (pbms_repository, pbms_reference, pbms_metadata, pbms_metadata_header, pbms_metadata_dump) from users? -- Piotr Przybylski

This behavior was validated by the PBMS developer so there must be a good reason. Do you want me to ask him? -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Yes, it would help. I don't know how PBMS works with them, but these look like information_schema-like tables, and such data should be displayed at least to superuser. Currently table list is filtered, without any check for PBMS availability so tables with these names are always hidden. -- Piotr Przybylski

Barry Leslie replied to me: "These system tables could be made visible but I would discourage people from poking around in them too much because they are not indexed and so entire repository will be scanned when accessing one of these tables." -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info
