I don’t think it supports MySQL 4.1 or 5 properly (maybe the beta version does?). It might be fine for basic stuff, but I’d be nervous about getting too comfortable with it until it’s updated. Check out phpMyAdmin if you haven’t already - it’s awesome. -Mike ---

I have always found cocoa mysql to be a bit buggy. Recommend YourSQL [http://yoursql.ludit.it/](http://yoursql.ludit.it/) instead. However it does not have any extensive user creation tool but that is a simple SQL line you can just type yourself. On 5/26/06, Mike O.

It’s actually quick too, after changing the rows returned to 100 instead of 5000! (: ---

you could try the more recent betas: [http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/beta.php](http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/beta.php) i am using 0.7b3 with mysql 5.0.19 on os x without issue.
