Hi Dave: not sure if this will make the next release, but here is something I am interested in: the ability to print the structure of a table. My solution at the moment is to login to phpMyAdmin, select a table and "print view". It works, but would be useful if I could do that from within CMSB.

Food for thought!

Hi northernpenguin,

What's the purpose? If it's to see what variables you have available there's a need code snippet you can use for that with the latest beta release:

<?php xmp_r( $record ); ?>

Just replace record with whatever variable you want to see.

Hope that helps!

Hi Northernpenguin,

I do not know if that can help you, but I regularly use this code to obtain the shema tables :

With the update 1.33, you can add a menu Text Links ! [;)]

I hope that can help you !
