I don’t know which one he is using, but i really like the MySQL client
from Navicat, as this one is very stable and has some advanced features
other clients do not offer. the one, which i like the most is the option
to tunnel the connection through a ssh connection. this way, you do not
have to allow mysql connection from other servers than localhost, but
still be able to work on the servers database.
there is also a PostgreSQL version available.
If you get CocoaMySQL, be aware that the main version you find out there
(0.5) does not support the newer password scheme of 4.1+. So if you’re
using a newer install of mySQL, grab the CocoaMySQL version here:
I have used Navicat but didn’t like it. CocoaMySQL is very good, you
can get it from sourceforge.net. I also use the Query Browser
available for free in the download section of MySQL.com pretty sweet
since it has the help built right in the client, although it is a
working progress; but you should check it out.

There’s another beta there that doesn’t have the password hack.

Thanks Micah.
I’ll download the latest beta and check it out
Navicat looks pretty good, although if I spend any money on software I
might have to convert to PostgreSQL because its my preferred platform. I
noticed they have a pgsql client which looks cool…
Navicat is the only tool I will use - Mac or PC. A DB connection tool is
something you use every day, break down and pay for a good one.
Cocoamysql
and yoursql are garbage to me.

Am I the only one who’s happy at the command line?

No you’re not. Though after seeing the migrations screencast I’m
switching to do everything with them instead.
At the same time, I really liked the way of building database gradually
using migrations (I think Chad F. demonstrated it very well in the
Rails Recipes book).
