[Phpmyadmin-devel] foreign key on external database
Hi all, For a personal project I need to create foreign keys between different databases. I've realised that phpmyadmin only allows foreign keys on the same db so I'm thinking on develop this feature. I know it's not a very good practice to create foreign keys on different databases... but I need it anyway... Any comments or guidelines to do it? Thanks, Isart

Any comments or guidelines to do it? I guess the relation table from the pmadb already has room to store this info, so it should be mostly a matter of implementing interface details. I'd be happy to review a patch.
On the subject of guidelines ... please try to follow the coding guidelines as referred to on http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/improve.php Regards, Herman van Rink

Hi Isart, good initiative! Are you thinking of implementing this in Relation View or the Designer page or both? On Relation View, we could think of a database drop-down, even if this can pose a problem with too many databases -- but we already have this problem at other places where we have such drop-down. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info
Hi, I'm new to php and phpmyadmin. I have a windows 2k Advanced Server running IIS. I think I loaded MySql OK, & tried to load php & phpmyadmin. I don't think those loaded properly. Would someone be willing to set it up and check it out. I would pay for the help.

My idea is to add it as a dropdown in the relational view. I will take a look at the designer page as well and see if I can do both. On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 12:04 PM, Marc Delisle <marc@infomarc.info> wrote:

Hi guys, If I add a new dropdown with the databases, the table dropdown should be updated when the database dropdown changes. Any suggestion on how to do it? 1. Add the table dropdown on an iframe and reload it when the database dropdown changes (javascrpt) 2. Ajax 3. Others? Thx!

Hi Isart, I've done something similar with Ajax. Also you should display a submit button to trigger the update of the tables dropdown when javascript is disabled in the browser. Marc Isart Montane a écrit :
