I thought this would solve the issue. But the underlying problem is caused by the query SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM DB_NAME
Tried it in phpMyAdmin-3.4.0-rc2-english This is the trace /usr/share/phpMyAdmin-3.4.0-rc2-english/libraries/dbi/mysqli.dbi.lib.php (199) /usr/share/phpMyAdmin-3.4.0-rc2-english/libraries/database_interface.lib.php (1186) /usr/share/phpMyAdmin-3.4.0-rc2-english/libraries/database_interface.lib.php (345) /usr/share/phpMyAdmin-3.4.0-rc2-english/libraries/common.lib.php (720) /usr/share/phpMyAdmin-3.4.0-rc2-english/navigation.php (249) On line 341 this is done if ($table || (true === $tbl_is_group)) { $sql = 'SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM ' . PMA_backquote($each_database) .' LIKE \'' . PMA_escape_mysql_wildcards(addslashes($table)) . '%\''; } else { $sql = 'SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM ' . PMA_backquote($each_database); } So the SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM db is called because of the else clause, so the query goes on to get all tables. The thing is mysql does not support limit and offset for SHOW TABLE STATUS. I started working on the issue but I do not have enough time right now. I tried to emulate the show table status by changing the else clause to: $sql = 'select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = \'' . $each_database . '\' LIMIT ' . $limit_count . ' OFFSET ' . $limit_offset; The thing is that the results need to be formatted to be compatible with show table status results. Also it seems to be limited by the user priviliges. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754647 Title: Having 10000+ tables on a single database crashes phpmyadmin -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
