After attempting to install and use the version of DBManager that was distributed on the Cert Web Application Development CD-ROM, I encountered a few issues and decided that I would be better off using the latest version of the product.
This was support by a comment in one of the TT380 user conferences, where a fellow student mentioned they had successfully installed and could recommend the lastest version, namely version 3.0.2.
I waited no longer and opened my web-browser and navigated to the applications web-site to download the newest version. I was please to see that they had a FREE version available. You too can download this excellent Database Management Tool from:
http://www.dbtools.com.br/EN/downloads.php
The download was reasonably quick and very easy after first registering. Once it downloaded I proceded to install it, which again was an easy task to do.
After the initial installation the application loaded and I was presented with a very nice and professional looking interface. I was given the option on the right of the screen to Add a New Server. This needs to be setup before you can start using this excellent utility. Clicking on the Add new Server displays a server properties window. In this you need to select the various options, in my case I only needed to enter the root users password for my MySQL database. I then used the 'test button' and it confirmed it could connect to my database, I then click on the 'OK button' and my setup was finished.
I returned to the main display page and was presented with my MySQL server and all its databases, tables and users. It was that simple - and I highly recommend it to everyone who connects to any type of database.
Please feel free to leave comments on this Blog, I will try to answer any questions that arise to the best of my ability.
All the best Jayson
