SQL Improvements

[Bill N]

Google needs to make SQL more user friendly. I would like to see drag and drop elements (fields) and code is auto generated for you. If I have a name field, set initial parameters,  drag and drop to a SQL work-space and the code is generated and ready.

Hi,

Cloud SQL provides a hosted MySQL instance - unfortunately none of those features are present in MySQL so it isn't included as part of Cloud SQL.

You might be interested in the many graphical MySQL clients, such as MySQL Workbench or Navicat, which allow managing a database with a drag and drop interface. Any standard MySQL client can connect to Cloud SQL following these instructions.

If you are interested in automatic code generation you should look at a ORM framework for your language of choice, such as Hibernate for Java or SQLAlchemy for Python.
