Hi Michal Čihař, how are you doing?

...

Yes function for getting description for type in libraries/data_mysql.inc.php would be IMHO best.

I've made it this way. Pull request done: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/42 Drizzle needs better descriptions.

Thank you for your time.

I think you should make descriptions shorter. Example for LONGTEXT, you have: "A TEXT column with a maximum length of 4,294,967,295 or 4GB (232 - 1) characters. The effective maximum length is less if the value contains multi-byte characters. The effective maximum length of LONGTEXT columns also depends on the configured maximum packet size in the client/server protocol and available memory. Each LONGTEXT value is stored using a four-byte length prefix that indicates the number of bytes in the value." I believe we should give only essential information: "A TEXT column with a maximum length of 4,294,967,295 or 4GB (232 - 1) bytes, uses 4-byte header to store length."

If somebody want the full text he should go to the documentation.
