About

MyJgui is a graphical user interface (GUI) for MySQL.

You can store multiple connections that can be used simultaneously. Stored passwords are encrypted using symmetric encryption. Underlying databases and tables are displayed in a tree structure with the connections being the first level nodes. MyJgui is capable of easy data manipulation through a grid.

It has a unique feature of bookmarking parametrical queries (sqlmarks).The documentation (user guide) is quite comprehensive and kept up-to-date.

Motivation

After the MySQL Front project went commercial, there was no light weight, feature rich and free mysql gui application that I considered worth running.

So I got stuck to the mysql binary and console front end. After awhile I realised that there is too much typing involved, and that many of the tasks could be automated and quickened only if a free mysql front application could be run.

I like the phpMyAdmin project, but first - it's not always available, and because of the need to install it on every server, I don't consider it lightweight. Java was chosen as the programming language because of it's portability.

As a programmer I try to enhance the gui with the application development in mind, so many features added in the furure will be driven towards application development, even though many administration features are going to be included as well.
