[Phpmyadmin-devel] Adding a new column in Central columns

[Rakesh Kumar]

​​Hi Smita,
Thanks for the reply.
IMO storing attribute data in 'col_extra' would be not only little more
confusing to the code but also making a new column will make the table
itself little more informative. It will be a problem at start but I think
in long term it may be more efficient.
