I’m currently working on an e-commerce project involving a relatively small number of database tables. However the clients table consists of 19 fields, making for difficult data review and debugging within PHPMyAdmin, even at 1280×768 resolution.

The answer is simple, at least if you’re using Firefox. Firefox offers three hotkeys for changing the text size, and resultingly, the amount of text you can see on one screen:

Ctrl+: Increase text size
Ctrl-: Decrease text size
Ctrl0: Return to default text size

When you’re dealing with a large table, just hit Ctrl- a few times. Once you’ve reviewed the data (or you’re eyes start to hurt), hit Ctrl0 to return to the default text size.
