Copy Sqlyog Connection Definitions To Other Computer

[ashwin]

Just copy/backup the SQLyog.ini file and paste in AppData folder (same path) of another system where there is SQLyog.

Exact file path is:

For Windows XP/2003:

C:documents and settingsuserapplication dataSQLyogsqlyog.ini

For Windows Vista/2008/Win7:

C:UsersuserAppDataRoamingSQLyogsqlyog.ini

Please note that the 'AppData' folder is a hidden folder. You need to unhide it from Control Panel .. folder options.

Thanks, that works. But a simple export/import feature from the SQLyog user interface would be more than welcome.

I have added this request here: http://code.google.com/p/sqlyog/issues/detail?id=1728

But as long as we store the connection settings in a plain text file ('SQLyog.ini') I don't think we will implement this.

However seen in the context of other requests for the connection manager (filtering and sorting of connections, 'tagging' connections – whatever) that would requrie (or at least benefit from) a more database-like storage of these data we may consider in the future.

Request has been implemented in v10.2 Beta1

Hello all

 

In Windows 8.1 the ini file is at

:UsersAppDataLocalVirtualStoreProgram Files (x86)SQLyog

 

e.g.:

C:Usersuser_nameAppDataLocalVirtualStoreProgram Files (x86)SQLyog

 

Cheers,

 

Pedro

@Polonia – thanks so much for posting those paths to a 3yr old thread on the exact day I’m looking to migrate!  😀

There also is an option in menu .. tools .. Export/Import Connection details.

 

(maybe there wasn’t when this thread started)
