Buyer beware ... I was a bit surprised when I learned there was a version 3.0 of MySQL-Front ... the developer of MySQL-Front shut down the project after version 2.5. As it turns out, this new version is unrelated to the original project created by Ansgar Becker.
Though it has many of the same attributes, it does not support OPTIMIZE or REPAIR for MyISAM tables, which I feel is critical shortcoming. Worse, the developers of this new project are unwilling to consider implementation of these functions. Several users (myself included) posted requests in their forum, asking for implemnetatyion of OPTIMIZE and REPAIR. Their first response was to claim they did not understand the need for OPTIMIZE and REPAIR. After various responses to clarify the need, one of them wrote: "... A (sic) serios developer uses an other database type if MyISAM has problems like this or writes a feature in his application to handle this problem ... ". In other words, they are telling those of us with systems using MyISAM tables to go fish. They are charging $25.00 for this utility ... not a great deal of money, but wasted money if the buyer thinks they are buying an enhanced version of Ansgar Becker's work.
