Sqlyog Documentation Or Tutorial

[mriney]

I have been unsuccessful in location a SQLyog manual or tutorial. Do either exist for us neophytes? Thanks in advance!

There is a help file included with the program!

Accessible from the 'help'-menu

Isn't that what you are looking for ?

We also have a FAQ at http://www.webyog.com/faq

But please note that all this is help for the SQLyog program as such

– not for MySQL, or database design or SQL in general.

The help file is helpful but not the same as documentation which would be extremely helpful in getting started with SQLyog. Thanks

[peterlaursen]

Could you explain what you are missing then?

It would be very helpful if you can tell us what is missing from the help file. We would like the help file as descriptive as possible.

I would be happy to provide you with a FREE license of SQLyog Enterprise if you are willing to work with us on this subject and help us in improving the help file.

Thank you for all of your prompt responses. I hope this note is not a duplicate response – I just hit the wrong key…….

I would be happy to assist you in any way I can but please don't think I'm being too persistant and some kind of crank.

The request started like this: I was looking for a way to save the Query tabs in a file of my choice and reuse them at a later time. I have since found that it can be accomplished using the File tab. Seems self evident now but not at the time.

I started 1. with the Help facility, 2. searched the SQLyog program and folder for documentation or tutorial, 3. searched the SQLyog website , 4. searced the SYSlog FAQ, 5. searched the SQLyog Forum. 6. Submitted this Forum question.

All of these features, the program, and your fast response seem to be great but no where have i found an answer to my original question: Does documentation or a tutorial exist? I suspect that the answer in no, because you are trying to make the Help facility work for that function. It's just not the same.

I think a short tutorial, even if it is in text format, would help the user get started quicker then searching the Help, FAQ and Forum for basic question. Especially in a Enterprise environment where many new users may have similar questions. I agree with an earlier comment that it does not need to address MYSQL questions.

One last note: I am definitely new to MYSQL and SQLyog but have 30 years teaching, consulting, and supporting software for fortune 1000 corporations. I mention this only to illustrate the point that if I have these types of questions I believe you will have many, many more as you gain increasing presence in large corporation where the turnover is sometimes rapid.

By the way: being able to right click on the Query tabe to save, open, etc. would be a great enhancement. What do you think?

Hope this helps.

I just located some information in the Help facility that looks like it is exactly what I am looking for. I haven't had a chance to read over it yet but it looks like I need to apologize – The Help facility can act as the type of tutorial. Thanks again!!!!

If you have a specific question then you can ask here or at: http://webyog.com/faq/addcontent.html.

We will reply to it and add it up in our FAQ database too so that another user does not have trouble finding the answer.

The help file bundled with SQLyog describes each and every option in SQLyog and it answers most of the questions of an user. Sometimes it happens that a user is looking for a question in a different way and does not find it.
