it's probably just me. or i just keep getting dealt a lousy hand!
anyway, i haven't used phpMyAdmin much, but i admittedly have both gotten lazy, and wanted to learn a bit about phpMyAdmin, to see if maybe it would help me to learn something about MySQL-- which i'm sure it could.
i set out to rename a MySQL db. rather than take the time to do the research, and risk syntax errors, i decided-- "hey, i can probably do this real quickly via phpMyAdmin!". first i got the php_mbscript.dll extension error-- (which i'm glad i learned about that actually!)
then, when i renamed the database in phpMyAdmin, i received an error
PMA Database ... not OK[ Documentation ]
General relation features Disabled
there was a page before that, but i couldn't reload it of course, and i didn't document the error. my question is this:
is this something i need to worry about, or is this simply a phpMyAdmin error-- and most likely my MySQL and PHP installations are functioning normally? i get the idea that it's a phpMyAdmin thing simply preventing me from doing certain advanced MySQL procedures. what are the chances that my DB did NOT copy correctly (as part of the "rename" procedure)?
feedback, please?
i'm ready to try postGRE SQL. far from mastery of MySQL / PHP, i figure, why not start oh PostGRE now anyway. good idea?
