Entering SQL Statements - Mastering phpMyAdmin 3.4 for Effective MySQL Management - page 206

Clicking on Edit opens the Query window's SQL tab, with this query ready to be
modified. This happens because of the following default setting for this parameter:
$cfg['EditInWindow'] = TRUE;
When it is set to FALSE , a click on Edit will not open the Query window; instead, the
query will appear inside the query box of the SQL page.
Clicking on Inline replaces the displayed query by a text area where it's possible to
edit and submit this query, without leaving the current results page.
Multi-statement queries
In PHP and MySQL programming, we can send only one query at a time using the
mysql_query() function call. phpMyAdmin allows us to send many queries in one
transmission, using a semicolon as a separator. Suppose we type the following query
in the query box:
INSERT INTO author VALUES (100,'Paul Smith','111-2222');
INSERT INTO author VALUES (101,'Melanie Smith','222-3333');
UPDATE author SET phone='444-5555' WHERE name LIKE '%Smith%';
We will receive the following results screen:
We see the number of affected rows through comments because
$cfg['VerboseMultiSubmit'] is set to TRUE .
