You will find a button labeled <span class="guilabel">Bookmark this query</span> 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.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="variables-inside-bookmarks"> <h2>Variables inside bookmarks<a class="headerlink" href="#variables-inside-bookmarks" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>Inside a query, you can also add placeholders for variables. This is done by inserting into the query SQL comments between <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/*</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">*/</span></code>. The special string <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[VARIABLE{variable-number}]</span></code> 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.</p> <p>When you execute the bookmark, everything typed into the <em>Variables</em> input boxes on the query box page will replace the strings <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/*[VARIABLE{variable-number}]*/</span></code> in your stored query.</p> <p>Also remember, that everything else inside the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/*[VARIABLE{variable-number}]*/</span></code> string for your query will remain the way it is, but will be stripped of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/**/</span></code> chars. So you can use:</p> <div class="highlight-mysql notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cm">/*, [VARIABLE1] AS myname */</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>which will be expanded to</p> <div class="highlight-mysql notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">VARIABLE1</span> <span class="k">as</span> <span class="n">myname</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>in your query, where VARIABLE1 is the string you entered in the Variable 1 input box.</p> <p>A more complex example, say you have stored this query:</p> <div class="highlight-mysql notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">SELECT</span> <span class="k">Name</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">Address</span> <span class="k">FROM</span> <span class="n">addresses</span> <span class="k">WHERE</span> <span class="mi">1</span> <span class="cm">/* AND Name LIKE '%[VARIABLE1]%' */</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>If you wish to enter “phpMyAdmin” as the variable for the stored query, the full query will be:</p> <div class="highlight-mysql notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">SELECT</span> <span class="k">Name</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">Address</span> <span class="k">FROM</span> <span class="n">addresses</span> <span class="k">WHERE</span> <span class="mi">1</span> <span class="k">AND</span> <span class="k">Name</span> <span class="k">LIKE</span> <span class="s1">'%phpMyAdmin%'</span> </pre></div> </div> <p><strong>NOTE THE ABSENCE OF SPACES</strong> inside the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/**/</span></code> 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.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="browsing-a-table-using-a-bookmark"> <h2>Browsing a table using a bookmark<a class="headerlink" href="#browsing-a-table-using-a-bookmark" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>When a bookmark has the same name as the table, it will be used as the query when browsing this table.</p> <div class="admonition seealso"> <p class="admonition-title">See also</p> <p><a class="reference internal" href="faq.html#faqbookmark"><span class="std std-ref">6.18 Bookmarks: Where can I store bookmarks?
