sfDbQuickAccess plugin

The sfDbQuickAccessPlugin is a symfony plugin that provides an easy interface to quickly find and access tables from your configured database(s).

Features

• Searching for tables and table fields by names or partial names
• Deep linking to a web based database admin interface, such as phpmyadmin
• Perfectly combinable with keyword search in browsers like firefox to jump directly to table structures and db-admin (so typing something like db product into your browser leads you directly to a list of tables containing the string "product" with instant access to their structure and searching/modification possibilities)

sfDbQuickAccess plugin

The sfDbQuickAccessPlugin is a symfony plugin that provides an easy interface to quickly find and access tables from your configured database(s).

Features

• Searching for tables and table fields by names or partial names
• Deep linking to a web based database admin interface, such as phpmyadmin
• Perfectly combinable with keyword search in browsers like firefox to jump directly to table structures and db-admin (so typing something like db product into your browser leads you directly to a list of tables containing the string "product" with instant access to their structure and searching/modification possibilities)

So, in brief, this can simplify your life:

• if you have databases with many tables
• if you often have to check
  • which fields a table contains
  • which tables exist in your db (with a certain name pattern)
  • which fields exist in your db with a certain name pattern
• if you often have to search or modify data directly in your database

Installation

• Install the plugin (via a package)

  symfony plugin:install sfDbQuickAccessPlugin
  

• Activate the plugin in the config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php

  class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
  {
    public function setup()
    {
      $this->enablePlugins(array(
        ... 
        'sfDbQuickAccessPlugin',
        ...
      ));
    }
  }

• Enable the module in your backend (you don't want to use that in the frontend!) in apps/backend/config/settings.yml so you can access the search interface in your app

  all:
    .settings:
      enabled_modules: [..., sfDbQuickAccessSearch, ...]
  

• Publish the plugin's assets (some styles, javascripts and icons) through

  symfony plugin:publish-assets
  

• Configure your admin type and admin base path in apps/backend/config/app.yml

  all:
    (...)
    db_quick_access:
      # the type of admin (currently only phpmyadmin is supported)
      admin_type: phpmyadmin
      # the base path to your e.g. phpmyadmin    
      admin_base_path: https://www.yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin 
      # define if the yaml file db configuration should be linked 
      is_yaml_link_enabled: true
  
  dev:
    (...)
    db_quick_access:
      admin_base_path: http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin
  
  staging:
    (...)
    db_quick_access:
      admin_base_path: https://staging.yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin
  

• Clear you cache

  symfony cc
  

• Now the interface can be reached using the following url

  • http://path-to-your-symfony-backend/db-quick-access/search

• Optional step: Add keyword searches to your browser, e.g.

  • Search table fields in your dev db, with a keyword such as flddev

    http://local.yourdomain.com/backend_dev.php/db-quick-access/search?database_name=your-db-name&search_substr=%S&search_type=search+field

  • Search tables in your prod db, with a keyword such as tblprod

    http://www.yourdomain.com/backend.php/db-quick-access/search?database_name=your-db-name&search_substr=%S&search_type=search+table

  Of course you have to adapt your paths and database name, depending on the environment. If you have only one database configured, you may omit the database name.

Warning: Be sure that you don't enable the module for a non secured app, to avoid making your database structure public!

Limitations

In its initial release it's only available for doctrine and has only phpMyAdmin (for MySQL) configured.
