MySQL GeekOctober 10, 2005 - 5:07pm
I’ve been spending so much time maintaining Mac Geekery (16K page hits a day — woo) that I’ve totally neglected my other sites and programs. It’s amazing how much work it takes to get five questions a week figured out, written up, and done right and still keep a job and family life… So, anyhow, while I was doing the last little redesign of MG I mirrored the site on my local machine. I wasn’t using the same version of MySQL and I’d done some tweaks to that version so I hit My SQL’s site and got the version for Mac OS X. Amazed, I was, when I found that not only did they have an installer package, a startup item, and a preference pane to control the startup item, but that they had a program called MySQL Administrator which had a port for the Mac. I’ve been poking through this thing and it is, by far, the best program I’ve seen for maintaining the program proper. CocoaMySQL and PHPMyAdmin do well with letting you edit data and perform queries, but for administering the server, MySQL Admin is far and away the coolest gadget. One feature: live graphs of cache and key cache hit efficiency. Worth a look. “My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom. I have long ceased to argue with people who prefer Thursday to Wednesday because it is Thursday.” — New York Times Magazine, 2/11/23 – G. K. Chesterton  |

Have you tried MySQL Query Browser?
Yes, recently. It’s replaced CocoaMySQL for me (esp. since CCMS seems to have died in Tiger).
