.. _bookmarks: Bookmarks ========= .. note:: You need to have configured the :ref:`linked-tables` for using bookmarks feature. Storing bookmarks ----------------- Any query that is executed can be marked as a bookmark on the page where the results are displayed. You will find a button labeled :guilabel:`Bookmark this query` just at the end of the page. As soon as you have stored a bookmark, that query is linked to the database. You can now access a bookmark dropdown on each page where the query box appears on for that database. Variables inside bookmarks -------------------------- Inside a query, you can also add placeholders for variables. This is done by inserting into the query SQL comments between ``/*`` and ``*/``. The special string ``[VARIABLE{variable-number}]`` is used inside the comments. Be aware that the whole query minus the SQL comments must be valid by itself, otherwise you won't be able to store it as a bookmark. Also, note that the text 'VARIABLE' is case-sensitive. When you execute the bookmark, everything typed into the *Variables* input boxes on the query box page will replace the strings ``/*[VARIABLE{variable-number}]*/`` in your stored query. Also remember, that everything else inside the ``/*[VARIABLE{variable-number}]*/`` string for your query will remain the way it is, but will be stripped of the ``/**/`` chars. So you can use: .. code-block:: mysql /*, [VARIABLE1] AS myname */ which will be expanded to .. code-block:: mysql , VARIABLE1 as myname in your query, where VARIABLE1 is the string you entered in the Variable 1 input box. A more complex example, say you have stored this query: .. code-block:: mysql SELECT Name, Address FROM addresses WHERE 1 /* AND Name LIKE '%[VARIABLE1]%' */ If you wish to enter "phpMyAdmin" as the variable for the stored query, the full query will be: .. code-block:: mysql SELECT Name, Address FROM addresses WHERE 1 AND Name LIKE '%phpMyAdmin%' **NOTE THE ABSENCE OF SPACES** inside the ``/**/`` construct. Any spaces inserted there will be later also inserted as spaces in your query and may lead to unexpected results especially when using the variable expansion inside of a "LIKE ''" expression. Browsing a table using a bookmark --------------------------------- When a bookmark has the same name as the table, it will be used as the query when browsing this table. .. seealso:: :ref:`faqbookmark`, :ref:`faq6_22`
