[gentoo-user] [OT] Recommended MySQL frontends

[Roy Wright]

Howdy,

I'm playing with Ruby On Rails but am severely SQL challenged.
I'd like to just create some simple tables (integers, strings, dates).
I've been trying to find a MySQL frontend that works.  The
closest is mysql administrator, except the SQL generated
doesn't work.  Kexi errors when trying to connect to mysql
and connection edit is not implemented yet...

Any suggestions for a tool to create simple tables in MySQL?

Or any really good tutorials?  Please not another how to
install mysql on windows tutorial... that's all I seem able to find.

I'm using MySQL 4.1.14.

Thank you,
Roy

What kind of errors are you getting? mysql-administrator is supplied
by the mysql company itself. I doubt they would let something like
this go by.

If you have PHP/Apache installed, you might try phpMyAdmin. It's quite slick
for a web GUI, and I often find it more convenient to load into a tab in my
browser than yet another program. It's surprisingly simple and has most of
the features I use and many that the dedicated apps are missing.

You might look at MySQLCC.  The MySQL people have switched away from it to
their new mysql administrator, but I still like it better.

You can download it for windows by going here:

http://ftp.up.ac.za/pub/windows/mysql/Downloads/MySQLCC/

Make sure to get the 0.9.4 version

MySQLCC isn't updated or supported anymore AFAIK and sometimes has a few
bugs, but I use it fairly reguarly.

Another thing you might want to check out is DBDesigner:
http://fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/

With it, you can create graphical table diagrams.  It then can take your
diagram and sync it with a MySQL database.

HTH,

Preston
