My boss and several of my coworkers have been confused about how to export what they see in the PMA window. After executing a query, their first instinct is to click the "Export" tab at the top of the window, since it's so visible. They usually don't immediately understand why the result set is different -- that the "Export" tab does an implicit "SELECT * FROM
" before showing the export screen.
I show them the two options available at the bottom of the window: either select the desired rows and click the "Export" button, or click the "Export" link at the bottom to export all rows in the result set. Even so, this seems to have difficulty sticking in their minds because of the identical wording on the three controls.
The "Export" button is sufficiently differentiated by being a button and sufficiently clear by the text "With selected:" before it. The "Export" link at the bottom, however, gives the user no hint as to how its function differs.
--> I suggest that the text of the link at the bottom be changed to something like "Export entire result set" or "Export this query" to make its purpose clear. <--
It might also be worthwhile to consider whether moving that entire row of functions ("Print view," "Print view (with full texts)," "Export"*) above the result list, rather than below it, would be beneficial and easy discovery. - I omit "Insert new row" because it doesn't seem to be different from the "Insert" tab already at the top.
I tested the phpMyAdmin-20060213-053501 CVS snapshot with PHP 5.1.2, MySQL 5.0.18 and Lighttpd 1.4.10 on Mac OS X 10.4.4 PPC.
