Databases and what to edit them with

[Sweeper]

Hi all I guess this is the right forum for my questions =)

1. What do you guys use to edit your databases with? Was told that even the latest Admin Tool 2.8 was a bit out of date? or at least not doing the job good enough.

2. Is it possible to use MS SQL Server for the databases? and if so how do I source the *.sql files? Because I got SQL Server 5.0 running on another computer for my web and ftp server. And Im a bit more familiar to using SQL Server.

yes I was a n00b a week ago but Ive been running Fruktane's Server for a while now and know how some stuff works at least =)

Windows has a neat tool we use to edit mysql databases pretty nicely.. goto Start, hit Run and type in "notepad" :)

Mysql-front

Sadly the guy developing mysql-front has suddenly stoped work on it, and pulled the web page :(

The forums are still up, and there are links to the latest release.

Best mysql GUI I know of IMHO


Also use a good text editer to edit the sql dumps. www.ultraedit.com is my favorite.

Visual Basic 6 comes with a tool I like, VisData. There's a standalone version that I haven't used, but found from a quick search. It's available here (http://www.wheelmud.org/ftproot/downloads/visdata.zip)

You guys all know you can link MS Access against the Mysql databases and change it that way, right? Not very pretty, but it works just fine..
