MySQL Official GUI Interface
ChopsMIDI writes "Announced today at MySQL, is the new GUI for MySQL: The MySQL Administrator. This integrates database management and maintenance into a 'seamless' GUI. 'Easily perform all the command line operations visually including configuring servers, administering users, and dynamically monitoring database health. Other common administrative tasks such as monitoring replication status, backup and restore, and viewing logs can also be performed through the MySQL Administrator graphical console.' This sounds like a pretty sweet tool, but sadly, it's not available for downlodad yet, but it does have some nice screenshots."
A product that's just been announced is not vaporware. The term implies deception and without knowing the real status of the project, there needs to be an announced release date or some sort of an obvious show stopper (company goes under, loss of major developer, similar tool released by same group, etc).
And with all of the screenshots, I am pretty sure they actually have a product in development...no use in doing so many mock ups of a product for a simple "coming soon" page...
ok but this is an open source product that is freely downloadable. They don't stand to make money with this, there is no reason to generate false buzz.
