Multi-table operations
In the Database view, there is a checkbox next to each table name and a drop-down menu under the table list. This enables us to quickly choose some tables and perform an operation on all those tables at once. Here, we select the book-copy and the book tables, and choose the Check table operation for the selected tables as shown in the following screenshot:
We could also quickly select or deselect all the checkboxes with Check All / Uncheck All option.
Repairing an "in use" table
The multi-table mode is the only method (unless we know the exact SQL query to type) for repairing a corrupted table. Such tables may be shown with the in use flag in the database list. Users seeking help in the support forums for phpMyAdmin often receive this tip from experienced phpMyAdmin users.
