onemind Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hi, I am fairly new to mysql and databases in general. So far I have installed mysql and made a couple of tables ect. I have the following questions: 1. Do most people use a graphical front end when designing their data bases or do they use the console? If graphical, which one? I am thinking of buying Navicat. Would this be the best one? 2. I am designing my data base locally and dont have a host yet. When i do get a host that supports mysql, is it just a matter of uploading my table files or do i have to start a new database on the server and somehow import my tables? 3. What are the best online tutorials or offline books to learn how to become a good db programmer? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgyJim Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 onemind, I am trying to figure out the best way of putting my db onto the server. If I find out anythign I will let you know. The best GUI tool I have come across so far is: http://www.webyog.com/sqlyog/featurematrix.html This makes using mySQL a breeze, there is a free version and an enterprise version. Check it out.
