<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>You need to have configured the <a class="reference internal" href="setup.html#linked-tables"><span class="std std-ref">phpMyAdmin configuration storage</span></a> for using bookmarks
feature.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="storing-bookmarks">
<h2>Storing bookmarks<a class="headerlink" href="#storing-bookmarks" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Any query that is executed can be marked as a bookmark on the page
where the results are displayed. 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>
