Re: Where is Query Browser and Admin tool?

Jesse,

If you go to dev.mysql.com and under Downloads, click Archives (instead =
of current) you can get the old GUI tools.  Also, I think only 5.2 (beta =
6?) has QB and Admin integrated.  I think its missing from 5.1 (which is =
GA).

I can say I personally disapprove of MySQL attempting to deprecate GA =
(Query Browser and Administrator) software and replace it with Beta =
software (Workbench).  I can only assume that the want to draw more user =
to this product to make it better, but for the general "users" of the =
open source community, I think this is doing them a disservice.  That, =
and some of us just can't deploy beta software.

That said, Workbench is a wonderful product, and I'm happy to see that =
they are putting their energy into working on this all-in-one solution.=20=


Let's just hope (in GA) that it doesn't have the abominable instability =
on the Mac that all of the other GUI tools have.

Finally, thank you to whomever decided to add Downloads back onto the =
main mysql.com page.  It was pretty clear that its initial removal was =
an Oracle driven move, so I don't blame you MySQL for that one.
