Download MySQL Front 2.2

Daniel304 writes to us that a new version of MySQL Front, a GUI front-end for MySQL, has been released. It is already a fairly old release, but it should not be missing from the junk tracker. Below is a brief overview of the reasons for this release:

• New features:
  • Database-Tree: Fields are now displayed beyond the tables. This is usefull when you are writing SQL-queries and want to know the column-names. The fields are also draggable into the query-window.
  • MySQL-Errors now are displayed with a help-button, which links to the searchable documentation on mysql.com or on the FAQ, depending on the error-message
  • Export/Import MySQL-Front settings and connections to/from a registry-file (.reg) (File -> “Export settings…”, -> “Import settings…”)
• Improvements:
  • CSV-Exports now include the field-names as a first line
  • SQL-Exports now don’t enclose table- and db-names with backticks
  • ODBC queries now don’t enclose table-names with backticks, which is more compatible to most database-systems
• Bug fixes:
  • A MySQL 4.x version is now recognized correctly. Along with this tables are now retrieved with “show table status” and some other features are active again
  • Removed access violation when sometimes clicking on table-tabsheet (Table dbname. doesn’t exist…)

The multi-language options is completely removed in this new version, because too few users asked for a version in their language. In addition it is simply too much work to collect all billion strings in the software, which have to be translated.
