“Database management tool for MySQL”

by Cyril Roger

Navicat presents a clear interface to easily manage your MySQL database. You can quickly view elements like tables, stored procedures, events, queries and reports. Your data can be synchronized so it is properly updated in your database. Navicat supports all MySQL versions and lets you easily import and export your data. Similarly, Navicat makes it easy to generate and print out reports on yoru database. You can also manage mutiple users and connections.

We were a bit disappointed to find out that there is very little difference between the standard and enterprise version. The only new things that the latter offers are report building, viewing, exporting and printing. On the whole though, Navicat is a very user-friendly MySQL database manager.
