Database::table_browser.
Comment:
Hey,
a couple questions, ...
1) In general, how do you see this package versus DB_Table?
2) Being Mysql-only, what would it take you to e.g. port your code to a
MDB2_Table class instead? The class could serve the same purpose, but be
compatible with different DB backends, etc..
3) If you don't like the idea of MDB2_Table, I'd still vote for a way to
query different database backends (maybe through PDO). I'd also like to see
an interface to inject a DB connection into your class vs. creating one
"inside". Support for Mysqli wouldn't hurt either.
Generally, I like your idea a lot, since (at least IMHO) it's a pain to
write all those calls again and again e.g. when you are writing an frontend
to a database for administrative work.
Food for thought!
Cheers,
Till
