Differences to HeidiSQL

[Leo Unglaub]

Hi friends,
here you find a little list with differences between HannaSQL and
HeidiSQL. Please send me your feedback to those features so i can
improve them. Also if you have ideas witch are not in here, please let
me know them so i can thing about them.

* Runs native on Linux :)
* No connection manager. If you start HannaSQL always the complete
programm is loaded. In the program you open new tabs for a connection.
there you can choose between existing (saved) connections and a "quick
connect". The benefit here is, that HannaSQL remembers my last
connections and if i open the tool, i have already all connections
opened as the last time i was there.
* You have for every connection a different tab. So you can switch
between databases and servers more easy without loosing the overview if
you have a ton of databases. You also can connect to the same server in
different tabs.
* HannaSQL has a "careful" mode. If you activate this mode, the tool
will ask you every time before an delete query is executed. This should
be very helpful if you work on databases where you have to be extra careful.
* Cron-Backups. You can create backup jobs and HannaSQL will run them
automaticly for you every day/hour/... the backups can be stored
versioned in every directory you want.
* Multiple Storage Backends: Different than HeidiSQL you have multiple
storages for your connections. So you can store some connections witch
are only for you in a private file xml file. You can store them in
GCONF, you can also store them in a Dropbox Account or an MySQL
Database. So you can have private conenctions and some you can share
with your partners, clients, ... .

If you have some feedback, please let me know.


Greetings
Leo

Hey Leo.

Glad to hear news from you.
I think this Hanna's features are just great.
I can't figure out anything else to add.
Are you planning a release soon?

Just a question: isn't gconf getting deprecated in favor of dconf? I think it is.

Hi Leo, good to hear things are still moving along ;-)

For the connections, I guess it's pretty obvious but for ssh tunnels etc it should just use your existing ssh setup so your keys and config "just work".

For backups, it would be nice to be able to choose the compression type. We tried different compression types on our databases here (we have quite a few) and with gzip default (-6) the backup of all of them came to 3.3 GB. However, using xz -3, while it took a little longer (108 minutes instead of 75 mins) the size was only 1.4 GB. Quite a saving.

Thanks for keeping us updated!

Regards, Seumas

Yes, if you have your ssh setup running, HannaSQL is using it. All Keys
you have in your keymanager (sssh-add) are available.

I too would love to see HannaSQL up and running.

Your GitHub repo is currently private :(

Many thanks Leo!
