Title: Mysql Databases
Post by: bam on May 03, 2006, 01:12:00 am

hey anyone know where there could be a repository for databases, like using MySql databases as a reference tool, electronics programming etc... also hows about "exporting" the dattabase for the wiki or/and the forums for download, that way I can have the reference in hand?

I found a sweet tool for viewing databases and performing query's totlly customizable. called dadabik written in php of course. So how about it DZ/offroadgeek, hows about haveing the database open for download?

related but not the answer you want... have you encountered "dbdesigner4" from fabforce? It's quite a good tool for drawing database schemas, as it's designed for that specific purpose rather than using something like Visio. For example, when you link two tables it can automatically create the xref columns for you.

installing isn't quite trivial as you need the kylix libraries from Borland

also, phpmyadmin is a great tool for installing on a web server for browsing a database via a web site.

tora, only free for linux, is a very useful tool for trying out various SQL statements and exploring the table structure

myphpadmin, I definately installed that right away, but I needed something to browse the db's so that dadabik worked perfect for that. i just would like a sql dump of individual forums availiable here, that way I can search for stuff whenever i feel like it.
