MySQL Administrator
Thursday, 16 September 2004, 13:47 GMT

For many MySQL developers, database administration is something that they know little about and, as a result, they avoid. To make MySQL administrative tasks easier, MySQL AB has developed a new graphical user interface to the MySQL server. It's called simply and appropriately, "MySQL Administrator". This application was first released to the public earlier this year, but as it had a few bugs that kept causing it to crash on my systems, I've waited to review it. Recently, though, MySQL AB has released a version that is fairly stable; there are still some things to be worked out, but it's now very usable and dependable.

MySQL Administrator allows an adminstrator to configure a MySQL server easily. You can manage users, as well as server connections and threads. You can check performance and server logs related to general database activities, slow queries, and errors. A couple of sections provide assistance in making backups of databases and restoring them if necessary. If you take advantage of replication, MySQL Administrator provides an interface for monitoring their status. Finally, you can examine table schema and make changes to the layout of tables. You can't perform queries, though. For a GUI application to run queries, use MySQL Control Center. The MySQL Administrator application focuses just on database administration and analysis. And it does a good job of it, too.
