[quote author="Fenix" date="1218247641"]Thanks for the tips! Toadsoft looks promising. I hate to be "that guy" but I really would prefer a more attractive program than Squirrel SQL [/quote] As I already mentioned, TOAD is a serious commercial tool (visit the main page at http://www.quest.com/) probably one of the best for Oracle (well if you ever tried to work with Oracle admin tools you'd find SQuirreL very attractive ) Another option could be HeidiSQL http://www.heidisql.com/ but if you are going to switch to a MAC you'd rather consider CocoaMySQL cheers Stefano

[quote author="rdjs" date="1218684929"]I am using SQLyog at the moment on the pc.[/quote] mysqlfront (discontinued) was really good. SQLyog is about as good, which means it kicks ass. mysql-administrator/mysql-query-browser are ok. They're the official admin tools released by Mysql AB, now hold by SUN Mycrosystems. I use them on a daily basis, the graphical arrangement of the controls and grids is in my opinion the biggest minus. Apart from that it gives access to every MySQL feature. I found a small bug in it: when setting a column datatype to varchar, yo have to manually change 'VARCHAR' to 'VARCHAR(256)' or whatever length you wish. I don't know to which platforms SQLyog is available, to be honest I ok with mysql admin tools.

As a matter of fact mysql front was reborn after been discontinued for a while... Take a look http://www.mysqlfront.de/. I'm not sure about how it works... I just got used to use the console

Hi, In regards to SQLyog, I also have it running with Wine on my Ubuntu laptop. Nice to have the same tool no matter what machine/operating system I'm on... Cheers, Bruce

i'm using Mysql workbench to get a visual representation of the database.

Interestingly, navicat on the mac is better than on the pc in quite a few ways. Which is odd. Navicat is also available for linux where the pc version comes with wine.

I had an old developer turn me onto a few years back. Its a little slow, but to be expected since I typically work remotely. But once you get the hang of it (i find it much different than PhpMyadmin), it is a pretty nice app though. Though, when I develop locally I just use PHPmyadmin. |
