Re: MySQL Administration Tools

Would working with MySQL through two different interfaces give you a different perspective, making it a little easier to understand? Or are there particular strengths each program has? I believe so, as you get different persectives from different interfaces. As far as easier to understand, I think that's relative to one's current understanding -- certainly different people prefer different tools. Many of the programs attempt to provide the same basic functionality, but certainly most have some key strengths -- a tool like urSQL, for example, isn't as strong at administration, as it's geared more toward SQL development, query testing, and ad hoc queries. Also, would different MySQL administration tools conflict with each other? No, I'm not aware of any conflicts between MySQL tools and it doesn't seem likely that there would be. If you created a new database with phpMyAdmin, would it be recognized by MSQL Control Center? Definitely. The database creation is handled at the MySQL server and is independent of the tool. Could you work on MySQL with both programs on at the same time? This should also be possible. However, you might want to be careful with updates and deletes as one program could easily overwrite a previous update or incorrectly identify a row (e.g. when a value of a where clause changes). -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: simple windows client for mysql
Check out urSQL from http://www.urbanresearch.com/ursql You might also have a look at the MySQL website, there are many different clients available...

It seems that installing mysql server for windows on each machine would do this but it seems like using a shovel to swat a fly. Suggestions? Cheap is good too.

Re: Table solution
You can use mysqldump to export the data from your webserver to a file, ftp the file, and import into your local database. There are also some tools that might help -- urSQL (http://www.urbanresearch.com/ursql), for example, can export query results directly to Excel. This means you could connect urSQL directly to your webserver database (provided it's accessible), submit a select * from my_table, and export the results directly to an Excel file... There are other tools that provide similar functionality. If you want to do it manually: 1) mysqldump on the webserver (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysqldump.html) 2) Transfer the file to your local machine 3) Import into mysql (mysql dump-file.sql) On Mon, 11 Nov 2002, Lamar wrote: I want to copy a table from a webserver that has MySQL database server located on it, then, ftp to my local machine to insert into my local database. any ideas on how to do this? my goal is to create an Excel spreadsheet from the table for distribution.

Re: sql
This behavior is okay and is normal. MySQL sees the varchar(20) column [identified by `item`] and because one column is variable, MySQL changes all columns to be variable...

RE: editor
Have a look at urSQL -- http://www.urbanresearch.com/ursql/urquery.php urSQL is a query editor (much like a text editor with database/query support and SQL syntax highlighting). It has the capability to connect directly to your server and submit the query. The History feature keeps track of each query that is submitted to the database. You also have the option of saving, opening, and editing existing queries.

Even Oracle has an editor for saving/editing queries and running them. I don't really need a query-creator. If i use notepad, copy and paste doesn't seem to work -- MSDOS hangs.
