MySQL Administrator.. Any good?

Post by seodevhead »

Hey guys.. I just wanted to see if anyone uses the MySQL Administrator software they have over at mysql.org. Is it worth having/using? What do you like to use it for? Thanks for your input! Happy Holidays.

I have used it for a while. It is a nice looking piece of software, but it takes a little getting used to. It works hand in hand with the MySQL query browser (a separate download from MySQL) and performs fairly well.

Before MySQL Administrator I used the MySQL Control Center (since depricated, but still available at MySQL). I prefer this old software to the new software because, to me, it seemed a bit more intuitive and a little easier to use. I think SQLYog is another free tool that will allow you to administer your MySQL server, although I have only used SQLYog to transfer large amounts of data to hosted databases.

It's okay. I've used it for local development, but even then I prefer & mainly use phpMyAdmin.
