Navicat MySQL Database Editor

I tried and used some database administration tools for MySQL but I feel like something was missing in its features. Recently I started using Navicat for MySQL database management which is really awesome and having many features which will be used to solve and manage your database with a very minimal amount of time.

Gary Funk's Gravatar I've been using SQLyog for MySQL for as long as I can remember. It servers me well and has helped me solve many a problem.

I'll take a look at Navicat as I'm always looking for new tools.

Akbarsait's Gravatar @Gary I’m sure you will like Navicat over SQLyog!

Nick Sophinos's Gravatar Yeah, I have been using Navicat on my Mac since 2006 and it is smooth.

Raul Riera's Gravatar I switched from navicat lite to http://www.sequelpro.com/ it's pretty good! lots of features not included in navicat and it is open source (and very "cute" ui)

Charlie Griefer's Gravatar I've been a happy Sequel Pro user as well. Altho recently Todd Sharp turned me on to mySQL Workbench (http://wb.mysql.com/). I've downloaded it, but haven't taken it for a test drive yet. Looking forward to doing so, as it sounds very impressive.

Jeff Pierson's Gravatar I have also been using Navicat for about 2 years now. It has served me well and met my needs so far.

Gary Funk's Gravatar @Charlie: I've been using MySQL Workbench since it was first in beta. It's really nice.

@Akbarsait: I tried Navicat and while it's nice, SQLyog has so many more features and is the most powerful MySQL tool I have found.

Rick Mason's Gravatar I actually had to use Navicat at my last job and really prefer SQLYog. My only beef with them is that they have yet to introduce a version for the Mac where I am spending more of my time these days.

Website Design Ltd's Gravatar I have just started to use Navicat, it looks real good so far; do you have any useful Navicat resources (espically on implementing many to many relationships using multiple foreign keys as a primary key?)
