[Navicat Linux
Virginie Fayad
I have just configured a new Ubuntu 12.04. Because I'm not so familiar with the command line, I prefer to use Ubuntu Desktop so that I can have a GUI. Now I need to install a front-end to connect with MySQL.
The problem I am having is that I don't know how to install the program after it has been downloaded. There is a navicat.exe file in the navicat folder, but that seems to be for a DOS/Windows environment.
Yes, there is indeed a navicat.exe file there.Unfortunately they're basically just shipping a windows and wine setup, the start_navicat script should fire it up for you. You might need to open a terminal, navigate to that directory and then run ./start_navicat as I suspect the system won't recognise it as a shell script.
I am currently trying to set up some databases using PostgreSQL 9.4 on a guest VM using VirtualBox running centos 6.5. I'm trying to connect to the database using navicat from the host but all it's giving me is a message saying:
I've set the postgresql service up to listen for "*" hosts and made sure it's listening on the default 5432 port. I've set it to allow 0.0.0.0/0 on md5. I've also set the network adapter for the VM as bridged. I also tried disabling the firewall to see if that would help but it did not work. And for the record I did try to restart the postgreSQL as well. Though the VM is still getting connectivity to the internet and is able to ping the host machine. Looking from other posts all told me to do the above that I just listed but nothing works.
Previous code is archived in linux-archived branch for the reason that Navicat has come to version 16.x.x which I think should be a milestone and I decide to obsolete previous code and rewrite new one.
Navicat is a commercial database management tool that is relatively affordable as compared to other popular tools in the same category It is developed to manage different databases using a graphical user interface rather command line which ultimately reduces the intricacies of database system administration. It has been designed to address different sort of people in the industry such as administrators, developers, and small and medium-sized businesses.
With the help of Graphical use interface (GUI) the newbies or leaners can also be able to manage databases like a professional, indeed S/he should have some basic knowledge. It lets you create, organize, access and share information in a safe and easy way. Furthermore, it allows users to connect to any local or remote server, providing useful database tools such as data models, data transfer, data synchronization, structure synchronization, import, export, backup, restore; report creation tools, and plans to assist with data management.
Also, it offers a single premium package called Navicat Premium, comprises capabilities to connect all popular database systems such as MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, SQL Server, SQLite, Oracle and PostgreSQL. However, if someone wants to access and control some particular type of database then individual application packages are also available which makes this Database management tool affordable for everyone. These are the independent applications:
Here we are going to install Navicat for MongoDB to connect and manage databases of MongoDB on Linux system. The below-given steps will be the same to install other DB management tools provided by the same developer.
Go to your Ubuntu system and open command terminal. To quickly access, you can use a shortcut key combination that is CTRL+ALT+T. Or just go to activities panel / Application for Centos or other Linux Distors to search for the Terminal.
By default, if you want to run this GUI database management tool, then every time you have to go to its folder as we did above to run it. However, we can create a Desktop shortcut for it to save time.
You will see a shortcut icon on the Desktop with the name Navicat.desktop or whatever you have given to it. Now, right-click on it and select the option called Allow launching.
Secondly, Go to the Application Tab type Name whatever you want, and then come to the command section. Where click on the Browse button and just like we did for Ubuntu, go to the downloaded Navicat folder and select start_navicat script.
In this way, we can install any Navicat Database management tool on a Linux operating system to manage different database systems graphically. If you have some doubts or questions, please feel free to use the comment section.
