No Happiness with SQL Tools
by Steve Matzura 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Fellas, I am beginning to think I've been outa the biz too long when I start looking at the MySQL management tools around these days. Why do they have to make it so wiz-bang complicated? All I want is a nice navigable screen with database names to open, tables to walk up and down, table definitions without a lot of drop-down choices with buttons JAWS cannot find, and a forms definitions language that's not all drag and drop to create something that's user-friendly/user-useable and accessible all at the same time. Am I asking for the moon here? 30 years ago when I was writing order entry systems, we had relational databases with a dozen relational tables that were easier to maintain than what I'm llooking at tonight. Seriously, is it me, or what? The most I can do with the EMS stuff is select databases to register in the product. I cannot open them, cannot view or create tables in them, nothing. TIA.

partition table
by john coley 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Hi everybody, I have a couple of questions re partitioning and the partition table. I have a 250 boot drive. I partitioned it into two, a 50 gig boot partition, and the rest as a second partition for data storage. I also have a 750 gig external I've partitioned into six. I don't keep the external permanently plugged in, just when needed. Since I partitioned my boot drive and started using the external windows has twice had a problem at boot time, although exactly what the problem has been I don't know as there's obviously no speech feedback at that point. In each case windows loads when I press f1. Could it be that either the way I've partitioned the boot drive, or using the external could have confused windows in some way? Since the most recent format and reload, last evening I have neither partitioned my drive nore plugged in the external, and there have been no problems. It has occurred to me perhaps that my the way I'm using the external may be confusing windows. Is that likely? John.

What's an Accessible SQL Client?
by Steve Matzura 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

I'm needing to develop a couple small applications using a MySQL database, and I'm looking at GUI's for this purpose. The most popular seems to be Navicat, and for the most part, it's accessible enough, but in certain cases, not enough, such as the drop-down list for field type. I just cannot find the silly button to drop down the list! So I'm ready to abandon it and try something else. Anyone got any good ideas on this? Should this be posted to the blind programming list instead? Any assistance greatly appreciated.

vmware book on bookshare?
by John G. Heim 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

This is kind of OT but a few weeks ago, I asked about acquiring a book on vmware. Somebody said that all the safari books are on bookshare. I can't find it but I am thinking that it may be because I am not a paid member yet. But before I pay, I'd like to confirm that the book will be there. Is bookshare.org worth it anyway? Are all of the safari books there? Are copyrighted books hidden from searches until you pay?
