MySQL Workbench 1.0.5

MySQL has released some days ago a new tool for Database Design.
It can handle tables, stored procedures, functions, triggers and views of your existing databases (using the reverse engineering command).
Some features:
– Reverse engineering of existing MySQL databases
– Import DBDesigner4 models
– Synchronize edited model with MySQL database
– Generate SQL create script file
– Printing (Windows)
– Powrefull scripting and plugin interface. Plugins can be written in several languages, such as Lua, PHP, Java and
Python.
– Fast, OpenGL based graphical canvas
It is available for Windows, Linux and MacOSX too.
There’s also the source code free for download.
I found also a very nice Database tool, with tons of features, even if the GUI is not really usable (in my opinion): Aqua Data Studio 4.5
In these days I worked a lot with MySQL 5 and it’s new features and I found those tools very comfortable for my needs.
I hope my hosting provider (mediatemple) will upgrade mysql server too, which is still the 3.23.58!

mtascGUI

mtascGUI Reading today the MTASC mailing list I’ve read that a new Windows GUI for MTASC has been just release.
Quoting the author words: “after setting all the options (e.g. all mtasc paramters) you can switch to a small window, called ‘launch bar’, that will always stay on top of other applications, so that compiling with mtasc is only one click away, no matter where you are in your editor. This launch bar also lets you choose in which FlashPlayer version you would like to open your swf-file (options are 6, 7 and 8, provided that you install the standalone players that come with the flash ide’s)…”
What is MTASC?
MTASC is the first ActionScript 2 Open Source free compiler
