Hello –

How is it possible to enable all privileges for a given user with a single click? Currently, I create a new user, deny any global privileges, then open up the Manage Privileges dialog where I must click the checkbox for every possible privilege for a given table just to allow all privileges for the user on that table (but no other table). It seems to me there must be a way to enable all privileges for a given user on a given table in a single click.

For a single user and a single table, having to click 10 or 15 checkboxes isn't the biggest deal – but having to do this for multiple tables and multiple users becomes a real hassle.

Thanks,

Dan

We are completely rewriting the user manager. The 1st beta containing this feature is expected within 2 weeks.

Good idea. Let me discuss with team

Thanks for your reply. Well, I do have a couple of specific questions.

1. Are you against the acquisition of MySQL by Oracle, or are you for it, or neutral?

2. Monty suggests that if Oracle were to kill it or slow it down in the long run, it would in effect kill forks of MySQL because of the lack of ongoing development of MySQL. I'm not sure about the licensing, but if MySQL were killed, say after v6 is released, could MariaDB continue to build on and release subsequent versions, like MariaDB 7, for example, or would the licensing have some impact on it?

My applications are based on MySQL and it concerns me naturally. It also concerns me for the overall availability and development of a free and open LAMP stack for current and future students and small businesses. I'm sure there will be future alternatives, but I don't want to imagine having to rework my code to work with something else. I'm sure there will be problems.

It also concerns me for a budding company such as yours, which is so heavily tied to MySQL.

1. I guess we are neutral. InnoDB has been an Oracle product for some time and they have done a decent job maintaining it.

2. I don't think there will be significant impact. MySQL is GPL based so anybody can continue development. Yes, only Oracle can license MySQL use in embedded environments (wherein you distribute MySQL as a part of a closed-source application). For example, Symantec embeds MySQL with some of their enterprise products. Apart from that specific scenario I don't anticipate any licensing issues. Anybody can patch MySQL, redistribute the patched MySQL or provide support services on MySQL.

It is true that a bulk of our revenues come from MySQL Tools at this point in time. The good news is that this business is growing. At the same time, we have been investing in other products like http://www.visifire.com, http://www.mailbrowser.com & http://www.logmytask.com.

Hmm one week later, I guess no comment?

Oops. Sorry for the late reply. We have no intentions of keeping quiet! Completely got sucked into the launch of http://www.mailbrowser.com.

From a business perspective, MySQL adoption is growing rapidly and Webyog will continue to invest heavily in MySQL Tools. Dec'09 was the best month for Webyog both in terms of licenses sold and revenues. A majority of Web 2.0 websites are powered by MySQL and they are not migrating to an alternative anytime soon. MySQL is dominant in Shared Hosting environments. Popular applications like WordPress, etc are fully dependent on MySQL at this point in time.

From a technology perspective, even if there are multiple forks, all variants will ensure that they work well with MySQL Client API. None of the MySQL forks would break compatibility with the MySQL Client API if they were to get any traction. SQLyog & MONyog interact with MySQL servers using the MySQL Client API and we don't foresee any technical issues on that front.

In terms of partnership, we have been MySQL(Sun) partners and recently we have also partnered with Monty Program AB.

Does that answer you question? I would he happy to answer specific questions that you might have.

To allow the user to type a %filter%… the code is already there to act upon filters so the coding required is pretty much as simple as accepting a field and passing it to the existing routine! I would think 15 minutes would be ample 🙂

We will reply soon. The main problem is not writing the code to apply the filter – but finding a place to accept the filter condition without making the UI clunkier.

Any suggestions?

[Rohit]

Thanks.

You made our day 😀

Only the email field is mandatory.

We want to know if users are coming back and get similar statistics. This helps us measure a lot of things.

We could introduce the concept of registration and subsequent login but that would be more irritating than a simple form.

[Rohit]

It is a very valid request. Personally, I also like Firefox's behavior for opening tabs. I can't promise this soon, but we will try this post 8.1 GA.

[Rohit]

This feature is coming in 8.1, which goes to beta next week!

[Rohit]

We had similar requests in the past. But, we didn't have a robust SQL parser to read the dump and figure out the tables.

We now have a pretty good parser (for SQL Formatting).

It shouldn't be very tough. We will implement this but not high priority.

[Rohit]

SNMP will not be able to make it in 3.0. We will try this for 3.1.

However, we have improved alerting in 3.0 by providing TLS/SSL authentication for SMTP. It is not available in the this Beta but will appear in one of the future 3.0 betas.

[Rohit]

Unfortunately, there is no way to specify the server specific configurations in the current versions of MONyog.

However, we are thinking of exposing the server registration details in the MONyog Object Model (MOM) so that you can script server specific advisors.

We will discuss this with the MONyog development team and get back to you.

[Rohit]

SQLyog licensing is not subscription based, so there is no question of your license “running out”.

You don't need to upgrade unless you want to take advantage of the new features.

[Rohit]

While we look into the possibility of temporary files, could you please help us in reproducing the “frozen state”?

That would help us address the core problem and hopefully workarounds will not be required.

[Rohit]

@Tomer,

We have got a few requests for SNMP traps in the past. We will try to push it for MONyog 3.0.

The first beta for MONyog 3.0 is expected in another 6-8 weeks.
