Database Development and Queries

Post by Akwebby »

Is there such a program that helps out with the mysql coding and queries that I need to make in some of my php oriented sites. Like it logs into my database and I click the table and it says SELECT and then you click whatever you want to select, then it gives you the option of WHERE and you select some more options.

Hmm when I put it like that it makes it sound pretty darn easy to do it myself, but um is there a program?

A popular application for the win32 platform that is back in production. I prefer phpmyadmin myself though.

Don't take me wrong, but there is no application that I know of that will do the work for you. Databases are not designed to be easy to learn/understand (except MS Excel/Access perhaps) but to 'do the job'.
If you are serious about using a database, then browse the manuals, buy a non-expencive book and ask here when youre stuck. ;)
