Producing and maintaining good documentation about data structure is crucial for a project's success, especially when it's a team project. Fortunately, phpMyAdmin has features that take care of this. When phpMyAdmin generates results, there is always a Print view link that can be used to generate a printable report of the data. The Print view feature can also be used to produce basic documentation, and this is done in two steps. The first click on Print view puts a report on screen, with a Print button at the end of the page. This Print button generates a report formatted for the printer.
Clicking Print view on the Structure sub-page for a database generates a list of tables. This list contains the number of records, storage engine, size, comments, the dates of creation, and last update for each table.
