printing collection structures

It would be nice to print out database structures for reference. This can be done if the record length is small using print from the browser, however on collections with a large number of fields, they are truncated and not all fields are shown. Is there a possibility this could be added to the wish list?

Do you want to print the structure (column, types) or the actual data?

Basically, just the structure, so that it is easily referred to when coding, column names & types. Sometimes it might be useful to print two or three records of data as examples.

printing collection structures

Actually, I've tried printing recently in chrome or firefox and it doesn't print anything apart from the header and footer. The only way I can print it is to create a screenshot using something like snipping tool and pasting into word before printing. I would like to be able to print the collection structure vertically rather than horizontally, so that it would all fit on the page.

In Chrome I was able to copy the "wide" table in the database tab, paste in Google Sheets, then copy again and Paste Special Transpose
