yordan 10 Report post Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) I didn't use it.However, I have a question for you :How do you like it (from the demo) compared to phpmyadmin ? Is it nicer or does it have more usful functionnalities than phpmyadmin ? If yes, do you think it's worth to buy it ?RegardsYordanP.S : concerning the topic title, what is "musql" ? Maybe a mistyping for "mysql" ? Edited January 24, 2007 by yordan (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anzoone 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2007 Yes Yordan, it MySQL ...soryy..just a typing error. And about NAVCAT, It seems more user friendly than PhpMyAdmin..But when it comes to buying it i needed an opinion of some one who has used its fully functional version so i ll have a better understaning . The demo, as you would know does not show you every thing.Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ethergeek 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2007 I've used Navicat before...though to be honest the tools that MySQL AB provides (MySQL Administrator, MySQL Query) are superb. I've never found a task I couldn't manage with one of those 2 tools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markymark2 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2007 I must agree with you there..Ive tried a few packages also but always seem to come back to the default of MySql query browser and MySQL Admin - again I can say Ive nothing that they cant do when working together.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Even the trial version of Navcat seems to give you decent intuitive, graphical, multi-table query building capabilities, something phpmyadmim does not offer and I could not figure out with mysql query browser. With mysql query browser, I kept dropping the join table onto the button but instead of joining, it would replace the table with the other one in the main text display. Adding tables, dragging and dropping columns on each other to create relational queries may be possible with mysql query browser, but it was not very intuitive to me if so.-Aurelio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Replying to bchuaI agree...I find the GA MySQL query tool is kind of quarky with long statements sometimes...And is sort of a pain to move in and out of...While the NavCat tool feels more like Terratrax a tool I use for MS SQL management. I haven't bought NavCat...Still using the tial, but so far I love it...Though there are still some features on the MySQL query tool that kick *bottom* over the NavCat tool ;-)I will probably buy NavCat though eventually.-reply by Dustin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted August 21, 2008 sqlyog Navcat For MySQL I found that SQL is the best tool for managing all MySQL databases, and the price is pretty cheap. The GUI interface designer is relatively new, but they are progressing quickly on it. Also.. The company fixes bug really fast. I was using the database compare tool once, and it was constantly crashing. They had the fix into a beta version and available for download in 2 days! -reply by patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted September 11, 2008 MySQL AB Tools Navcat For MySQL Replying to ethergeek I really have to agree with ethergeek. Though I haven't tried Navcat yet, I have not seen anything rival MySQL AB's tools. They are very intuitive and very useful to do anything you want through a gui interface and with much ease. The keyboard shortcuts are great. Unfortunately, the PC version of the software is far superior to the mac version. I've been using the tools on a pc for years, but now I work in a mac shop. Every time I use the Query browser on my mac, I'm surprised if it doesn't crash at least once. And almost every time it crashes I send an error report. My latest reports have gone from "query browser crashed while using the tool's table editor" to "crash report 1,999,999 : query browser must have crashed because I touched the monitor at the exact instance I executed a 'select * from table' query " it's really that unstable on a mac. On a PC, I don't remember it ever crashing once. That's odd because... Isn't a mac supposed to be more stable than a PC? Isn't it ironic??? -reply by Justin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
