How to improve shortening

[salacr]

Hi,

I have another problem that I'm trying to solve and it's related to "shortening"
there's this function function is_shortable(array $field): bool { which has a whitelist of types.

Unfortunately, in PostgreSQL (and other databases as well) it's possible to create an own type.
Having an array of 100 uuids in a single field (I know it's a schema problem) is then difficult to read as it's not shortened..

I wonder Why don't we shorten ALL values (Simple solution so I wonder what I'm missing)? Or at least can't we make that function extendable via plugin?

Another think is that I can see that in function function select_value($val, string $link, array $field, ?string $text_length): string

We are handling a arrays differently (better formatting), but it doesn't work for PostgreSQL. (I gues that I might be able to fix that)

Thanks!

I don't want to shorten numbers. Feel free to prepare a pull-request to move this function to Adminer.

You can also try to change the code calling select_value to pass array for PostgreSQL arrays. Adminer doesn't support PostgreSQL arrays almost anywhere (e.g. in creating a table) so it might be worthwhile to improve this support too.
