May be I did not present my question clearly to you. My question in detail is ...
--> Does phpMyAdmin supports / allow / interface, editing data from "one to many" or ,"many to many" related tables, using a single phpMyAdmin interface( a single HTML page)
I have a (primary) table and one of its fields(category) has one or many values , all these values are also listed in another(secondary) table. I would like to know if phpMyAdmin provides any interface such that those values from the secondary table appears(listed) (for example : as a Form) in the field of the primary table.
PrimaryTable(X,Y,category,Z) pk:X
SecondaryTable(category)pk:category
I am not intending to enforce referential integrity. My question is just about the interfacing.
Thank you,
Phani.

You need to realize that phpMyAdmin is a database manangement tool, not a database. So I'll answer your questions based on the mySQL database ...
1. MySQL 3.23.43b introduced a table type of InnoDB which is the first to allow foreign key constraints. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SEC448.html ... However, you do not need to enforce constraints to have a relationship. I just assume that's what you're getting at.
2. Yes, if you enforce constraints with the CASCADE option it will. ..see same document: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SEC448.html
... Now the catch, my version of phpMyAdmin 2.3.0 does not allow me to choose the table type of InnoDB, even though my database is version 3.23.54. So I assume phpMyAdmin does not allow one to manage these attributes. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

hi all,
1. How does phpMyAdmin manage tables with "one to many" or "many to one"
relation ships. Is there any documentation about this.
--------------or-----------------
2. Does phpMyAdmin support editing data from more than one table that have a
one to many or many to one relationship.
Thanks and Wish you a happy new year,
Phani.
