Feature Request: Sqlyog Tunnel For Windows

[Justin]

Greetings,

For those of us running Windows IIS servers and wanting to use the great feature offered with SQLyogTunnel.php, it would be great to have this implemented in a technology that will work natively on IIS (eg. ASP, ASP.Net, etc) rather than having to install PHP just for this page (an unnecessary overhead otherwise).

Thanks,

Justin.

We have considered ASP/ASP.net, JSP (and maybe even Ruby if practicalble).

The reason that it has not happened yet is a 'weighing' of resources to develop compared  to the demand.  The tunneller is now a pretty complicated piece of software!

We have 1-2 months work in finishing what we have startet.  After that we will do some long term planning for the next year or so!

The PHP code is not that difficult to understand. Just note that all variables start with a $ character and that there are two possible libraries used for the MySQL communication: mysql or mysqli. That explains all those switch statements.

So if your need is large enough, you can give it a try yourself. I do not think the webyog people would refuse a helping hand…

Thanks Peter. I can understand the demand/supply balance when prioritising features. This is possibly less of an issue in light of the planned inclusion of FastCGI in IIS7 which will optimise PHP inclusion. But it is still an overhead which would be nice to avoid if not otherwise needed.

Thanks DonQuichote. I have made a start on an ASP.Net conversion. Most of the logic is reasonably easy dealt with and thanks for the heads up on the sql/sqli library. I will potter away at it as time permits and, if I get anywhere with it, will send it in to Webyog for consideration.

Regards,

Justin.
