Units, on Status tab

Anonymous — Fri, 23 May 2008 03:18:06 -0000

On the Status tab, it shows a bunch of information (esp. in the "Sizes" box) with no units. Bytes, kilobytes, words, ?

It's hard to read a big sequence of numbers. I suggest one of:
- add commas, and append " bytes" (e.g., "1,589,248 bytes")
- do this, but also show it in more meaningful units (e.g., "1,589,248 bytes (1.52 MB)")

Default connnection

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 17:00:49 -0000

It would be great if I could select one of the connections as the default connection and have it autoconnect when the programs starts. In my usage I never have more than the 1 server configured and this would make it much faster to get in and out the program.

Named Queries

Anonymous — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 15:47:38 -0000

I will often have a series of queries that are quite
long, with small subtle differences so I can review my
data different ways.

In the Custom Query form, it would be nice if we could
give our "Favorite Queries" names, kind of like
bookmarks. If the name is blank, show the query,
otherwise show the name.

So for example, if I had these two SIMPLE examples:

SELECT * FROM user WHERE userID > 10
SELECT * FROM user WHERE userID > 10 ORDER BY lastName

and presuming that users 0-9 where special admin
records, e.g.
I could name them for my own "bookmarks"

List non-admin users
List alpha non-admin users

Then -- at 2AM, when I'm trying to figure out where the
query is -- I could read English (or my language of
choice) instead of SQL :)

Foreign Key Constraints

Richard Connamacher — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 02:19:43 -0000

Add support for editing and modifying foreign key constraints.

This feature is supported by the InnoDB table type (which CocoaMySQL
now supports switching tables to), and is essential to ensuring data
integrity and avoiding orphaned records.

Thanks!

ability to log SQL

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Jun 2005 19:02:53 -0000

It would be really nice if a future release of
CocoaMySQL included the ability to log the SQL the
program runs.

This sort of ability is really good for double-checking
the edits you are making before you apply to the
production database.

Faster database opening

Victor Eijkhout — Mon, 28 Mar 2005 01:40:16 -0000

I have already set my preferences to display only 1000 lines of a
database, but just opening it takes forever. CocoaSQL has now been
churning away on this 200,000 record database for almost 10
minutes. By contrast, YourSQL opens the same database in a few
seconds.

Custom Data Entry Modes

Anonymous — Tue, 25 Jan 2005 19:29:48 -0000

This app is the best out there. I was shocked when I tried
everything else...even commercial stuff and this program kicked
their butt.

Anyways, it would be great to be able to customize the data entry.
Some way to create layouts where different users could enter the
info into the database. Kind of the way FileMaker and Appleworks
operate. You create a skin or a layout where you could define
which fields a particular user had access to input.

This would be a dream come true.

Add mysql 4.1 compatibility

CocoaMySQL 0.5 lets you connect to mysql 4.1 only without
passwords. This can be a security risk.

SSH Port Tunneling

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Sep 2004 18:32:26 -0000

It would be incredible to be able to configure a connection so that
it tunnels through ssh. Being that most people have firewalls in
front of their mysql servers this would be extremely useful.

Check out this little app:
