CRAZY phpMyAdmin Behavior with SQL
Posted: Sat May 15, 2004 11:31 pm
Alright, I was able to ignore it at first, but NOW it's really starting to get on my NERVES.
I can create a table just fine in my database. And when I try to make CHANGES to the STRUCTURE of the table, they take effect... but the the changes are not always DISPLAYED under the STRUCTURES tab in phpMyAdmin!!! Often times I could get the changes to display by clicking on another tab (like SQL or Browse) then clicking BACK onto the structures tab. BUT NOW THAT isn't even working! It's almost like phpMyAdmin is loading a stored version of what it thinks my structure page looks like... This same strange event has ALSO occurred under the BROWSE tab after making changes in the table's data.
I know the changes I make are taking place in reality (despite what phpMyAdmin tells me) because I can still run queries on new columns (for example) that I've inserted into my table structure (despite the fact that these columns don't show up when viewing my structure.)
PLEASE, this is VERY disorientating. It's so difficult to work on a database when what you are being shown is not what actually exists! Maybe it's something to do with my browser (IE 6.0). Any ideas?
