Hey all,

I'm using Sequel Pro on my Mac. For a variety of reasons, I'm needing to do some work from a PC. It's been so long that I'm getting re-introduced to tools.

Do any of you have a Windows Alternative to Sequel Pro that you're using? 

Thanks!

Carl

I also use sequel pro, but one of my developers loves and recommends Navicat - it’s not free but is mac/pc.

Thanks,
Nick

HeidiSQL is the closest comparison to SequelPro for Windows, but there are a few decent options:

Quick dumb question...  I'm curious -What are some use cases for a tool like SQL Pro?  Just wondering if there are tasks in my day-to-day that would be better served with a tool like that.

Thanks!

More secure access to MySQL databases (can tunnel via ssh to avoid the need for external access or phpmyadmin).

Works when phpmyadmin is not installed. 

Faster (no loading web pages to switch views). 

Long transactions are not limited by the PHP execution time.

Saves favorites for 1 click access (vs log into Cpanel, login to phpmyadmin, choose database).

Etc.

MySQL Workbench has a free product for Linux, Windows and OS X. It's strength is in the data modeling tools and the reverse and forward engineering tools. It handles a variety of connection options, including SSH tunneling.

The product has matured greatly over the last couple of years, so, many of the cons you may read of in comparisons and reviews should be considered in light of when they were made.

I strongly suggest HeidiSQL. It's actively developed,  super complete and you can have multiple tabs for different queries, too.
