But CocoaMySQL appears broken with Tiger. At least it didn't work for me. Refused to connect to any of my databases. I downloaded the MySQL Administrator from the MySQL site. Works great but doesn't allow me to manage database content. So what? I use Rev!

another reason to use a local MySQL client such as CocoaMySQL is that it can be much more secure than a web based utility such as phpMyAdmin or Escuel as the MySQL server only works with IPs one specifies. (at least with my ISP).


I could never figure out how to use phpMyAdmin to actually let me ENTER data (if it does at all), not just build the structure.

Often I'll use CocoaMySQL to build the schema and stuff the database with data, then use my app after that. It uses an easy to use spreadsheet metaphor to enter data.

This way I have good data to start testing my app right away. Import/Export is a snap and it reads the first line of my data to get the fieldnames for import. On many web based projects that mainly need to display lists from a database (such as a tour schedule for CSN) I just enter the data directly from CocoaMySQL and don't have to create an entry or admin panel.

Much easier to use than a web-based app.
