Mysql-Front is terrible. I've never used a program that crashes so much... :roll: :roll: :roll: However, it has PHP-tunneling and I haven't found a replacement with PHP-tunneling... :x

Simply set up your own ssl tunnel? Very simple explanation here.

instead of all of that I got phpmyadmin working. I like it because I am used to it and I can bacically do anything with it. Thanks for the suggestions and the help in the other forums!

Get used to the command line, personally, once I lost the dependency on phpmyadmin, i learned MySQL much better and really started to understand the more complicated aspects of it.

Playing around with the commands and docs will be a lot more helpful in the long run!

When i didn't know much about (My)SQL i was happy there was such a tool as PHPMyAdmin.. These days it still comes in handy from time to time but i don't depend on it anymore..

Don't get me wrong, phpMyAdmin was my best friend when I was starting out with MySQL!

use wine to run windows program if you want to

Post by dibyendrah »

install wine on linux and use the windows program if you are relying on windows program. Just copy the required dll required by the program in following path /path/to/your/profile/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32.

I'm using sqlyog using wine.

Hope this might help to use mysqlfront. But, I've not tested for mysqlfront.


Cheers,
Dibyendra
