• HeidiSQL im MariaDB Installer

  written: 11 months ago category: HeidiSQL

  Ich war hin und weg als Vladislav mich fragte ob sie mein "Baby" HeidiSQL in den nächsten MariaDB Installer packen könnten. Ich sagte zu, implementierte noch schnell Unterstützung für virtuelle Spalten und das richtige Icon im Datenbank-Baum auf der linken Seite:

  

  Vor 3 Tagen kam dann die News zum neuen MariaDB release. Einen Tag später sogar auf heise.de in den Top-News - was heidisql.com natürlich einigen Traffic bescherte.

  Im Nachhinein betrachtet kann ich sagen: im Paket geschnürt kann OpenSource Software Ihre Stärken richtig ausspielen. Vielen Dank auch an Monty!

• heidisql.com recovered

  written: 3 years ago category: HeidiSQL

  Phew... fixed it by upgrading the old virtual server system to a newer, slightly more speedy one. Networking on the old virtual machine was still broken today, and Parallels seem to have bigger problems finding the error cause. So I decided not to sit and wait here and ordered the mentioned upgrade, which then was a blank new virtual machine with nearly the same specs but on a different hardware. They mounted the old virtual harddisk into the new system so I could easily copy old config files and programs from O:\ to C:\ . Nameservers updated to the new IP address and tataaa - at 8:30pm the first visitors since 36 hours were back.

  Btw, having a downtime on that domain also meant there was a one-minute-waiter for each HeidiSQL user at startup on earth which had updatechecks switched on ... ehm :oops:

  The container of the virtual machine seems to be broken since 9:30 this morning and causes random network problems. Hopefully HostEurope can fix that soon, otherwise I have to reinstall the complete system.

• New table designer

  written: 3 years ago category: HeidiSQL

  Table editing in HeidiSQL has various legacy stuff inside which is really old and needs some fresh new ideas. So I took issue #436, various hours to think and started to create a new table designer. Ideas:

  1. the table tab should go away as we don't have only tables any longer, there are several other types of database objects added in recent MySQL versions, e.g. stored routines, views. So, a own tab only for tables tends to get inconsistent
  2. same applies for the Data tab
  3. like views or stored routines, add a new modal dialog which offers creating and editing tables. Which not only includes columns, but also indexes and advanced options like row format and such things.
  Long story short - here's the current status:

• Coming soon

  Can't wait to present that new dialog with complex but intuitive logic to the public: The new user manager in HeidiSQL. 90% ready, just a few work-evenings. This is how it looks and feels:

• HeidiSQL now with Silk icons

  written: 4 years ago category: HeidiSQL

  A sysiphus work for developers: Replace each of the 37 zillion icons in a complex application! HeidiSQL now uses the awesome Silk icon set by Mark James. Now it looks like this:
  Previously that looked like this:
