There's a million fancy looking database clients, and yet I'm still using the crappy built-in MySQL Workbench that crashes if you look at it the wrong way.
Why? Because I need to be able to do more than just run queries. I need to be able to manage users & permissions, see the current server configuration, kill connections from other clients if necessary, etc.
The collaboration features are a nice touch, that certainly makes this stand out compared to others, but if I still need to use another client as well then it's just not going to work...

- noduerme 4y agoMySQL Workbench is indeed a mess. If you're on a Mac, Sequel Ace (formerly Sequel Pro) is great and has all the features you mentioned.
- SparkyMcUnicorn 4y ago+1 for Sequel Ace. It's fantastic.
