Guy,

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks useful for the designing of databases,
and I'll keep it install for this purpose, but it doesn't have the ability
(as far as I can tell) to help me with designing queries for an already
existing database.

Thanks Oliver,

I was aware of the program, but not the drag & drop capabilities of it, I
will certainly give it another go.

You might want to take a look at MySQL Workbench.  I have found it the
best program I have come across for generating E-R diagrams of your
databases and creating MySQL table schemas in that you can then export
as SQL structures.

As just a query designer, however, it may not be suitable.  But for
anyone who regularly has to design and document MySQL databases it is
well worth a look.

There is also a version in the Ubuntu repositories.

Guy.

mysql query browser is in synaptic and the official tool on the mysql
website you can drag and drop table names and field names into your
querys to get actions to perform like join for example.

[ubuntu-uk] Visual Query Designer

2009-01-20 Thread Stephen Garton
Afternoon All,

I'm after a gui tool to help me design database queries (primarily for MySQL
databases).

In the windows world, I can use SQLyog enterprise -
http://webyog.com/en/sqlyog_feature_list.php - (which works under wine) or
even MS Access

I have also tried Navicat - http://mysql.navicat.com/download.html - which
essentially runs under wine as well.

Anyone know of any Native tools for Linux that can do drag & drop query
building?

TIA,

Steve Garton
