Description

The "Database Administration" module allows me to alter an existing row, it allows me to delete a row, but I can't figure out where to ADD a new row. Maybe I'm just being plain blind... But where can you ADD a row???

Sorry to bother y'all, but I'm still wondering: how do you use the Database Administration module to ADD a row (record) to a table?

I did not used the dba module yet, but I think the SQL Insert statement should work.

Maybe there is an easier way, I don't know.

That's what I was wondering: inserting an SQL statement can hardly be called "user friendly", can it? So, that's why I was looking for an easier way too.

The functionality does not currently exist. You can perform direct queries into the database and thus can manually add a row that way, but there's no "add row" type feature when viewing a specific table. We'll leave this open as a feature request.
