Forms Feature

[elliotonehouse]

I evaluated a new MySQL db tool today from http://www.microolap.com/, called DBACentral for MySQL. The creators have gone through painstaking effort to create an Access-like front end, and they've done a fairly nice job of copying the basic layout and functionality of Access. But save one feature, I can't stand Access. I much prefer the simplicity and straight forward interface and functionality of SQLyog. However, the forms interface in Access, and now DBACentral, is pretty cool. I often find myself in a situation where it would be nice to be able to build a quick form on the fly to do some quick data entry or management for a table. I usually throw something like this together in PHP and HTML, but a forms interface inside SQLyog with data binding abilities for form elements would really be a time saver.

Any chance you guys might implement something like this in the future?

It has been said several times in this forum that a GUI for generating queries will be implemented with YOGMAX. A forms generator has not been mentioned as far as I know.

All that stuff should be Open Source in my opinion and should be available as a plugin for any program – such as Webyog, OpenOffice, MySQL Query Browser (ridiculous program!) and … and …

It's waste to have a dozen developer groups working on that and only each to produce a 75 % solution …. I've come across a few before reading about the one that you link to. I've been checking your link, and I'd prefer using Access as a frontend for MySQL through ODBC … It's a better GUI and though ACCESS is not particularly fast, it's faster than this one!
