Introduction to HeidiSQL 7.0.0.4053

Some infos around HeidiSQL Project website: http://www.heidisql.com/ Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/heidisql/ *** What is HeidiSQL? HeidiSQL is an easy-to-use interface and a "working-horse" for web-developers using the popular MySQL-Database. It allows you to manage and browse your databases and tables from an intuitive Windows® interface. With HeidiSQL you will also be able to * Manage Microsoft SQL Servers, with a reduced feature set * Generate nice SQL-exports * Synchronize tables between two databases * Manage user-privileges * Import text-files * Export grid-data as CSV, HTML, XML, SQL, LaTeX and Wiki style * Browse and edit table-data using a comfortable grid * Create and edit tables, views, stored routines, triggers and scheduled events * Bulk edit tables (move to db, change engine, collation etc.) * Batch-insert ascii or binary files into tables * Write queries with customizable syntax-highlighting and code-completion * Profile your queries * Pretty reformat disordered SQL * Monitor and kill client-processes * Connect to servers via commandline * Find specific text in all tables of all databases of one server * Optimize and repair tables in a batch manner * And much more *** Requirements: HeidiSQL runs fine on Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7. Running HeidiSQL on Wine/Linux also works fine, apart from some minor graphical glitches, e.g. the transparent areas of all icons are displayed with black color. HeidiSQL does not run on Windows 95/98 or ME, as the Unicode extensions are not available on these systems. *** Command line switches Although HeidiSQL is a pure GUI application, it can be automated for connecting and opening files via command line parameters. Parameter names are case sensitive and are based on those used by the MySQL command line applications, e.g. mysqldump. -d, -description Session name -h, -host Host name -u, -user User name -p, -password Password -P, -port Port (defaults to 3306 if not given) -S, -socket Socket name (for connecting via named pipe) --psettings Custom filename for portable settings. Ignored if file does not exist. Examples: * Start over using stored settings from session "xyz": c:\path\to\heidisql.exe -d=xyz c:\path\to\heidisql.exe -description=xyz * Connect with different username or port: c:\path\to\heidisql.exe -d=xyz -u=OtherUser c:\path\to\heidisql.exe -d=xyz -P=3307 * Connect to a non-stored session: c:\path\to\heidisql.exe -h=localhost -u=root -p=Mypass -P=3307 * Open multiple .sql files in query tabs: c:\path\to\heidisql.exe fileA.sql path\to\fileB.sql fileC.sql ... * Use custom portable settings file: c:\path\to\heidisql.exe --psettings=c:\temp\p.txt *** License: HeidiSQL is OpenSource and released under GPL (GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE).
