MySQL Official GUI Interface

Posted by timothy on from the peeking-at-your-data dept.

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."

    Take a look

    There's also a great free front end for Oracle but its name escapes me at the moment. It's from Sweden I think.

    hi (george here)

    i think this is a GREAT idea!! i set up my sql a long time ago, my damn WIFE used to keep all of her recipes on these god damn INDEX CARDS in the kitchen and they kept cluttering the place up!! so then she entered ALL of her recipies into my sql and then THREW all her cards away!! so then one morning i wake up and i say make me some FRENCH TOAST!! and then she goes to the computer and brings up my sql and can't figure out how to FIND the damn recipe!!

    so i say just run a select statement and she is like george i cannot run a select statement i do not know how!! so i sit down and DAMN IT i forgot how to do it too!! so now ALL her recipes are stuck in my sql!! no more pork chops or ham cutlets!! we've been eating fucking beanie weenie for FIVE GOD DAMN YEARS!! select this from that, now WHAT in the HELL!! all i want is some effing french toast!! god!! now that there is a gui available she should be able to find the recipe and cook breakfast for REAL again i simply cannot wait!!

    your buddy

    I don't think the plan is to replace Control Center, once you look at the page and screenshots, it looks less like Control Center.

    The big giveaway for this is the fact that I don't see any way of reading table data...as a matter of fact, the more you look at it, Control Center will obvously be used more for database development and data entry, but The MySQL Administrator seems to be just that...more focused towards UNIX Administrators...

    S'okay. We're used to it.
