phpMyAdmin: change default number of rows displayed?

Question

By default, phpMyAdmin shows me 30 rows whenever I load a table (the query contains "LIMIT 30"). I generally want to see (up to) a few hundred rows.

Is there a way to change that default setting?

Answer 1

In your phpMyAdmin directory, there will be a file called "config.inc.php".

Find the line where it sets the MaxRows value:

$cfg['MaxRows'] = 1000;

And change the value to whatever you want.

Answer 2

Using phpMyAdmin version 3.4 and above you are able to change the default rows shown by:

On the phpMyAdmin home screen click Settings >> Main frame >> Browse mode and altering the value within Maximum number of rows to display.

Answer 3

I have no access to config.inc.php

To show more records I add to my query:

LIMIT 0,1000;

to show 1,000 records, from 0 to 1000.

You can change 1000 to any number according to your needs.

One example:

SELECT id, folio, sucursal
FROM equipos
WHERE sucursal = 3
ORDER BY folio
LIMIT 0,1000;

There is a config setting for this:

Answer 6

If you don't have access to the installation files, you should use Ricks answer with "click Settings >> Main frame >> Browse mode and altering the value within Maximum number of rows to display", but it can be that this does not take effect for other users. If so, you can:

---

• login as root
• choose database phpmyadmin
• select table pma_userconfig
• search for the user in question (field username)
• edit the field config_data by adding e.g. "MaxRows":1000 to the contents in brackets, e.g. results in {"MaxRows":1000,"lang":"de"}

---

Hope that helps.

Answer 7

phpMyAdmin has a config file called config.inc.php. You should be able to find appropriate setting in there.

Answer 8

just add the line : $cfg['MaxRows'] = 300; to /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php (ubuntu)

Answer 9

1. Find the file config.inc.php in your phpmyadmin directory

2. Edit it in any text editor

3. look for the line which contains the word $cfg['MaxRows']
4. if it has value like this ($cfg['MaxRows'] = 30; ) just edit the number (30) to the number of rows you like -- if that line doesn't exist just Add it at the end of the file before the ?> tag as follow:

......

$cfg['MySQLManualBase'] = 'http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en';
$cfg['MySQLManualType'] = 'searchable';

$cfg['MaxRows'] = 1000;
