Hi,
This project was started as a personal utility for easier administration =
of MySQL databases, through the web. I created it with the thought to =
allow the execution of arbitrary SQL query, but with some predefined, =
frequently used queries. Also it displays all tables in the database =
(currently only one DB can be administred), along with their fields in a =
list, so you can use them directly (no need to remember anything, also =
no MySQL docs needed in general). I used this tool (along with some =
collegues) for several months now, but as we used it, we felt it needs =
modification to allow more features (like auto-completion of field =
names, maybe syntax-highlight, smarter query builder, etc.) So I decided =
to host it on sourceforge.net as a part of this initiative for =
improvement.=20
I know about phpMyAdmin, but it is not what I wanted - it's too =
complicated for me, I wanted to create a tool that will be of help for =
the general developer, who knows (a bit or more) SQL and has worked with =
DBs before. I'm not a fan of the "wizard"-style interface ;)
Be sure to download the files from the first release (sqlDBA-0.0.1.a) =
and try it somewhere on a machine with MySQL and PHP (look inside the =
files for variables like $HOST $USER $PASS, etc. in order to bring it to =
work with the particular installation). The files are in WinZip format =
(no tar to make tar.gz, sorry).
If you have any questions, feel free to ask !
Regards,
Dimiter
