Package: phpmyadmin
Version: 4:2.10.1-2
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice for new users if there was a toggle button "readonly
session" on say the databases page, so that whatever we do, we don't
mess up anything when merely wanting to look at the data.
Also there, it would be nice to be able to make the entire session
"filtered", e.g., via SET character_set_results=NULL;
E.g., still see Wikipedia UTF-8 despite "Swedish" charset.
P.S., mouseover on phpmyadmin/db_structure.php?db=... shows several
tables dates as being created just now when I started the browser.

I think there are many cases where people haven't done something that should
have been done long ago.

Similar.

Concluding, this seems to me like a very corner case that doesn't offset the
cost in effort, code complexity and user interface clutter. You're free to
disagree on that, but it does mean that I'm not going to pursue this issue
further. If you think it's that worthwhile, taking it up with upstream
directly (www.phpmyadmin.net) is of course a possibility.
