YourSQL - The simple MacOSX program for MySQL

Magister Ludi releases YourSQL version 1.0, a free, Open Source MacOSX

application that lets everyone create a MySQL database from the Mac with a

few mouse clicks. It even supports activation of some of the more advanced

features of MySQL, such as indices, without requiring advanced technical

knowledge from the users.



YourSQL is the first Open Source Aqua-compliant application for MySQL

developers to reach version 1.0.



With YourSQL you can create and modify complete MySQL databases for typical

database-driven web sites without resorting to complicated command-line

tools. YourSQL's elegant database browser further provides instant access

to all databases on your network, whether they are installed under MacOSX,

Linux or Windows.



A special feature allows the creation on one-column indices and primary

keys. Indices are the secret behind the famed speed of MySQL, and by

allowing their creation by the click of a toolbar button, this technique

has become within reach of all web site developers.



With the advent of MacOSX, the Mac has become an obvious choice of platform

for web developers, unifying the graphical, user-oriented work of the Mac

universe with the back-end, advanced database functionality of the

Linux/Unix realm, from which MySQL is born.



To make the transition complete, true Aqua-compliant, MacOSX native

applications are needed for creation and editing of the traditional Unix

services which are being ported to MacOSX in this period.



YourSQL fills this gap regarding MySQL.



The application can be downloaded from:
