Essential MySQL tools

March 29th, 2009 Jigish Thakar No comments

MySQL is not hard to manage anymore. There was a time that you had to use the command prompt or go into the configuration files to get important administration done. Those days are over and MySQL AB not only provides excellent GUI tools for database server management but they are also free!

Recently saw a blog where the author gives some short information on how to control memory on a MySQL database server. Though you can do in his way using the GUI is much easier and provide more information on how and what to do. Rather than go through each area of the GUIs and each tool. see the sceenshots and recommend that you download and install the tools. You won’t be sorry.

As you can see the offerings are numerous and detailed. Especially of interest to most is the slow query log. This is one of the tools that you spend hours surfing the we to find. Within the package is also the Query browser which has one outstanding feature. It lets you create and view stored procedures. There is only one caveat that you have take notice of and that is that the tools are made to run against the “localhost”. This is a problem for many and places the MySQL GUI tools long behind SQL Server and Microsofts database management tools which can all be run from a remote node.

MySQL refers to the GUI Tool kit as the “Essentials” package and they are right. This package is essential not only to time restricted professionals but for new users of the MySQL database software. It is also one of the essentials in learning MySQL which programmers do not spend enough time on in my opinion.
