- 3mpire, on 03/25/2009, -1/+16This is rubbish it says nothing about the quality or pros/cons of each app.
- dreamache, on 03/25/2009, -9/+17SmashingMagazine.com. The perfect example of whoring out quick "top X" / "round up" lists to hit it big on social media sites like digg.
The formula for success is simple.
1. Choose a topic.
2. Search Google / other SE's / social media sites for "Topic" resources, images, or tools.
3. Put them on a list on your website.
4. Build a big following by whoring out your articles on twitter, facebook, myspace, RSS, etc..
5. Publish.
It'd be nice if more sites would abandon this approach and actually try to come up with really unique and intriguing content. But I guess the fact that it works is enough...... for now. - desertDenizen, on 03/25/2009, -0/+7People would spend more time researching and writing good content (like actually interviewing multiple sources) but the payback is too small. With our continuously churning blog/news cycle, even good reporting/writing only gets 15 minutes' attention. Who's going to do several days of work for that online? The only ones who can afford to are those who already have a very large readership, so it's a self-perpetuating feedback loop (and why more and more bloggers will aggregate).
- Sakumi, on 03/25/2009, -3/+8I wish the author actually took the time to research the information they were posting.
MySQL-Front is the previous project before HeidiSQL, which was shut down by MySQL itself. They moved everything over to Heidi years ago. MySQL-Front is not supported and should never, EVER be used. It is old, dead, and defunct. Use Heidi is you want that style of application, since it is just the continuation of the project w/o the resources MySQL objected to. - dreamache, on 03/25/2009, -0/+3Authors of articles like this only take the time to find the tools, they won't actually spend unnecessary time doing silly stuff like research!
They have one goal, and one goal only: Traffic. Right now the craze is Top X / Roundup lists. Build the list, and they will come.
I can't wait till this fad has been tired out, it's really ***** annoying. - chadsmith729, on 03/25/2009, -0/+3I wish they were to do a ranking system. I agree that dream has it right on this. That it appears they went to Google typed in "MySQL Administration" and the first 10 that showed up were the ones. It would be nice if they were similar to PC Magazine where they actually go through the tests and figure out which ones work out the best for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Ok, SmashingMagazine you asked for us to digg it at the top of the page. Now it's your turn to produce a better article. - Guire, on 03/25/2009, -0/+3Mysql-Front is still being developed. The project split when the original creator decided to make mysql-front a commercial software. But versions have been steadily coming out.
Version 5.1 came out two weeks ago and it has now become freeware. So claiming mysql-front is dead and should not be used is completly false. - GTPilot, on 03/25/2009, -2/+5blast from the past, ... and article i actually care about on the front page.
- Aidenf77, on 03/25/2009, -1/+3Props to PremiumSoft for Navicat! It makes my job so much easier!
I've gotta check out some of the other ones in this list too. - ryanknapper, on 03/26/2009, -0/+2Tip: People won't take you seriously if you call it My Sequel. It is pronounced My Ess Que Ell. It's even in the docs: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/what-is-mys ... (bottom of the page)
"Sequel" Server is a Microsoft product. - inactive, on 03/26/2009, -0/+2notepad + calc
Awesome.. - icexe, on 03/25/2009, -0/+2hey, it works. Look at it this way:
1) it actually has short, useful summaries that saves me the hassle of searching, downloading and testing each one myself.
2) The entire article takes up ONE page, not spread across multiple pages for ad impressions, I think that's very considerate of them and is the kind of thing that will keep me coming back to their website.. - adorkable81, on 03/25/2009, -0/+1NaviCat FTW
- dwalker, on 04/02/2009, -0/+1No good having a database online without an easy and reliable method to backup the data.
Here is an open source app which should have been included:
http://www.dwalker.co.uk/phpmysqlautobackup/ - TheUngod, on 03/25/2009, -0/+1Those are grand, but does anyone know of a tool that allows you to attach multiple mdf files at once without having to click each one? I have to attach about 500 all from the same folder.
- ihaterobots, on 03/25/2009, -0/+1I was just about to post the same thing, but I'll just second this comment. Navicat is so quick and easy! I've used it through 3 full releases now, it's great. I use it every single day at work.
Works WAY better than MySQL's own tools for OS X (imo).
I should say, however, that I bought the full version. Lite doesn't have the data migration tools, which are really useful when managing multiple servers. - prodigitalson, on 03/26/2009, -0/+1SequelPro or SQLExplorer plugin if im using Eclipse seem to get me through just fine.
- tcaduto, on 03/25/2009, -0/+1They did not mention Lightning Admin which has versions for PostgreSQL and MySQL with a common look and feel.
http://www.amsoftwaredesign.com - inactive, on 03/25/2009, -0/+1Can't believe they didn't mention it. Bigdump FTW!
- winry, on 03/26/2009, -0/+1http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/
Because the design of the database is really important. - annjay, on 03/25/2009, -6/+7Wow...this is something that I was looking from many days...Thanks SM...
- oburlaca, on 05/03/2009, -0/+0I tend to move away from traditional desktop applications and find web based alternatives.
Here is a simple tool that allows you to manage a mysql server as in desktop applications:
http://www.burlaca.com/aerosql/
AeroSQL is an open source web based tool for managing MySql servers written in PHP. The key feature of the product is an intuitive management of the database content. The result of SELECTs is displayed in a grid as in traditional desktop applications. The grid is editable: you can update cells and save the changes to the backend database server. For now, the query browser represents the main functionality. Additional features will be added in the next versions: administration tools (backup, restore), database object management (create tables). - iscadrian, on 03/27/2009, -0/+0What about EMS Sql Manager for MySQL?. I think this is very useful tool. Take a look
http://solutions.mysql.com/solutions/partner.php?p ... - iscadrian, on 03/27/2009, -0/+0I agree. anyway fabForce dbdesigner has a lot of things to improve
- gubatron2, on 04/02/2009, -1/+1mysql[tab] (all options shown)
ps aux | grep mysql
dstat
top
uptime
sudo lsof -n | grep mysqld | awk {'print $7, $8, $9'} | sort
...
and so on, FTW - geekyogi, on 03/26/2009, -1/+0get all of them here http://www.booktraining.net with ebooks and video tutorials
- inactive, on 03/25/2009, -7/+5Awesome story and thank you for sharing.
- itnewb, on 03/25/2009, -5/+3Good round up.
