AJAX PHPMyAdmin Alternative
- kloncks 17y agoOh wow. This is really nice.
- FalcorTheDog 17y agoVery cool alternative to PHPMyAdmin. They'd have to add support for foreign keys for me to make the switch though. Also, I'm not sure it actually uses any AJAX at all (at least not that I've noticed). Lots of pretty JavaScript though. shrugs
- ErrantX 17y agoNot bad. I just gave it a shot - 3 things occured to me. Firstly despite their claims it is fairly similar to PHPMyAdmin but with some Ajaxy stuff and a different layout (not a bad thing - though it is not as "friendly" feeling at times). Secondly I dont like the login with DB details thing; anyone sensible has long, secure, passwords and I certainly cant recall all my database IP addresses :P Thirdly I dont like the idea of installing it directly into a website subdirectory like that. Having MySQL administration accessible from my hosts control panel (i.e. unrelated to my domain) feels safer. I can see this becoming a decent alternative to PHPMyAdmin if hosts pick it up as an option! I have to admit I LOVE the simplicity of the install. Kudos for that - it was as simple as they promise.
- vaporstun 17y agoI actually liked that it was similar to PHPMyAdmin. I was looking for an alternative because I was tired of how heavy it was and came upon this. I was also tired of constantly refreshing PHPMyAdmin which, due to its heft, took quite awhile. SQLBuddy had neither of those issues.
- ErrantX 17y agoYeh - I didnt mean it as a totally bad thing.. I was just put off slightly about their claims to be so different when it's not :P
- vaporstun 17y agoHah yeah, they are a bit grandiose and set up unreasonable expectations. I sincerely hope no one takes their claim that this will "change the way people think about MySQL" too seriously.

- leftnode 17y agoThis is awesome, thanks for pointing me to that program. Very lightweight (a single file) and as simple as it gets to install.
- mwexler 17y agoNice, but since it's not being developed anymore, might be useful to mention their referral to http://www.gosu.pl/dbkiss/ http://www.gosu.pl/dbkiss/ which is also 1 file, easy to install, and pretty easy to use... and supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL.
- timdorr 17y agoWhile we're on the single file, lightweight bandwagon, there's also Adminer: http://www.adminer.org/en/ http://www.adminer.org/en/ Works pretty well and still looks halfway decent.
- mikeryan 17y agoKind of cool, but I like the MySQL GUI tools instead of a web interface. http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html

- patio11 17y agoI'm ashamed to say I do an awful lot of administration from the Rails console. "Oops, I botched my email address, can you help me?" c = Customer.find_by_username "wrong@example.com" c.username = "right@example.com" c.save! I know, I know, I could do it with SQL but I have noted a remarkable ability at the day job to forget to include the where clause after a week of crunch. That can have remarkably negative consequences, particularly since the Rails DB doesn't have any particular constraints on it. (It has ActiveRecord validations and, beyond that, you typically have to type more stuff, rather than less stuff, to cause massive screwups.)
- callmeed 17y agoI'd like to see something like this as a Rails app or plugin ... even if it was just read-only
