another reason to use a local MySQL client such as CocoaMySQL is that
it can be much more secure than a web based utility such as
phpMyAdmin or Escuel as the MySQL server only works with IPs one
specifies. (at least with my ISP).
I could never figure out how to use phpMyAdmin to actually let me
ENTER data (if it does at all), not just build the structure.
Often I'll use CocoaMySQL to build the schema and stuff the database
with data, then use my app after that. It uses an easy to use
spreadsheet metaphor to enter data.
This way I have good data to start testing my app right away.
Import/Export is a snap and it reads the first line of my data to
get the fieldnames for import. On many web based projects that
mainly need to display lists from a database (such as a tour
schedule for CSN) I just enter the data directly from CocoaMySQL and
don't have to create an entry or admin panel.
Much easier to use than a web-based app.
