I would like to echo Tilman’s suggest above about auto-widths or at least having some way to set the column widths for display. I’m constantly having to resize the columns in order to display the whole table. Also, it appears that you can not resize the right-most column.

Otherwise, very cool app. So useful that I am even exposing it to clients (which is why the auto-widths would really help).

I’d like a switch to view the structure by default when clicking a table, instead of browsing the entries, and another option to view that structure without scrolling.

Adding more than one column at a time – maybe the fields could be used as defaults for the new columns. So creating 5 INT columns and then giving them names would require very little clicking and typing.

In table index, display also the size of the table, not just number of rows and overhead?

Hmm, can’t think of anything more at the moment, but then again I just downloaded it, I haven’t even really used it yet =D

It’s extremely slick, I’m impressed. Congrats! It would be a shame to not perfect it, especially since you seem to have done all the heavy lifting already =)

I’m still working on the project but it isn’t my #1 priority at the moment. I’m currently managing the source using svn and the repo is hosted here: http://code.google.com/p/sql-buddy/

I found sqlbuddy because there is an open suggestion at Dreamhost to offer it as an alternative to phpmyadmin. I like the clean look and feel of it but it’s still lacking some functionality.

Are you still on it? Have you considered putting it on github or something similar, so everybody can contribute? Or if you don’t want that, maybe a public bugtracker or a getsatisfaction forum?

My suggestions:
* utf8 should be default charset for new database – codepages need to die
* group databases in the left pane to reduce clutter. For example, when there are related databases like [foo_development, foo_test, foo_staging, foo_production, foo_old], group them all under foo and collapse it by default (phpmyadmin does this)
* Why is the main menu duplicated?

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned this yet… a calendar/date picker for DATE/DATETIME fields would be super-handy. One such as MoTools:DatePicker (http://www.monkeyphysics.com/mootools/script/2/datepicker) would be easy to drop right in.

I agree with 147: inline editing would be huge.

+1. a feature to add text in specified encoding

First-thanks a lot!

and a VERY important thing:
1)In phpMyAdmin you can always see SQL code generated by the script. I examine and view it very often!!!
2)I didn’t find an ability to edit table as a GRID
3)SQL History

I understand that you wish to make interface as clean as possible, but some features save a very lot of time and I can’t see them here

sidu24 has an awful interface, but, damn, I use it because of that features

suggestion-add customization of toolbar
