MySQL Front Dead

[richkoi]

Apparently MySQL Front is no longer developing their software. I don't know the story behind this...
http://www.mysqlfront.de/

but anyways, I need a program like MySQL front. Any suggestions? User friendly is key... I also would like it to have Excel/Access import/export options. I tried Navicat, but really did not like it. Not user friendly at all compared to MySQL Front.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

You need mysql front? I have it. Let me know.

Well, I would rather a new system, because I need something that will allow me to test queries as well.

Thanks,

Just go download the MySQL tools, you will get the mysql query browser where you can input your sql queries and run them. You can also export the results as CSV, Excel, XMl, HTML, an PLIST. That is probably why the MySQL front was forced to stop offering is, is because the MySQL team was offering it's own version of a query browser.

I've never used MySQL Front so I don't know its feature set. I use phpMyAdmin (an open source application) and am very happy with it in general and particularly with its simplicity. phpMyAdmin manages MySQL databases online through any Web browser. I keep one phpMyAdmin installation on my server and use it to support all my MySQL databases (almost 100).

phpMyAdmin features include:

create and drop databases
create/drop/alter tables
delete/edit/add fields
execute SQL statements and scripts
manage keys
manage privileges
import/export data
display server variables and settings
display usage statistics

phpMyAdmin's numerous supported export functions included CSV for direct access by Microsoft Excel. You can export an entire table or a filtered subset. Imports are supported via an "Insert data from a text file into table" wizard (handles virtually any delimited file including CSV files).

You can download phpMyAdmin at no charge here: www.phpmyadmin.net/.

Hope this helps.

What about 'DB Manager'?

Would HeidiSQL do? It looks like they may have been linked to mySQL-Front.

Not sure what MySQL Front is, but if it is an ADMIN interface for managing tables, records, etc, I have heard that QUEST is providing TOAD for MySQL for free. If true, that would be an awesome interface for MySql. Oracle developers consider this a fundamental tool. I have used it for Oracle for many years.
Good Luck and hope that is on topic.

Did the mysql front work out for you?

[richkoi]

Tim,

Yes, it did work. Thank you very much. Still testing other platforms so I can make combined tables.

May be you are correct. Look at the bottom of the MySQL-Front 2.4 download page at freeDownloads.

Click on the link Visit homepage of MySQL-Front. I am redirected to HeidiSQL

Download HeidiSQL 3.0 RC3? MySQL-Front?

Nevertheless, I use phpMyAdmin and it is great.

There is a third MySQL manager, SQLyog that makes the following statment on their site:

"SQLyog MySQL GUI is the most powerful MySQL Manager and MySQL Admin Tool, combining the features of MySQL Query Browser, phpMyAdmin and various other MySQL Front Ends and MySQL Clients in a single intuitive interface".
