What I did: Investigate the temp directory and found it had actually created the file. However when I returned to Navicat I could not continue because of this error. I had to return to the temp directory where I deleted this file. Then Navicat could be used again to locate databases. Have repeated this about 6 times since with similar messages.
I would move your mysql temp directory to somewhere other than Windows\Temp and exclude your anti-virus from scanning this new temp folder. Looks like the likely cause is anti-virus trying to read the file.
I suppose my main point is the WHICH ini file I should place this new temp directory. I am assuming that the comment sign above means that currently I have no temp directory and the Windows\Temp is being used by default from elsewhere within MySQL.
In Part 1, we learned how to secure the MySQL root account using the Navicat Premium User Management Tool. Today's blog will focus on setting a new user's account details, account limits, and SSL settings.
Clicking the New User button on the Objects toolbar opens an Untitled User tab. It, in turn, contains five tabs named General, Advanced, Server Privileges, Privileges, and SQL Preview. We covered the General tab in Part 1, but we'll quickly recap here. On the General tab, we need to provide:
MySQL enables database administrators to expire account passwords manually, and to establish a policy for automatic password expiration using either the MySQL mysql_native_password or sha256_password built-in authentication plugin.
In order to use encrypted connections, OpenSSL or yaSSL must be present in your system. Also, the MySQL server needs to be built with TLS support and be properly configured to use one of them. Note that the term SSL, refers to the old, now insecure, protocol preceding TLS, is still used in many of the variable names and options for compatibility reasons although MySQL only uses its more secure (TLS) successors.
Managing the users of a database is one of the key responsibilities of the database administrator (DBA). Coordinating how users in your organization access your database typically entails many separate tasks, from adding new users, blocking access to users who have left the organization, and helping users who cannot log in.
MySQL ships with the mysqladmin command-line client for performing administrative operations. You can use it to check the server's configuration and current status, to create and drop databases, and more. For DBAs who prefer something a little more sophisticated, Navicat for MySQL and Premium includes everything you need to manage your MySQL users so that you don't ever have to launch a separate command window. In this series, we'll explore how to perform common user administration tasks from within Navicat. Today's blog describes the three default MySQL user accounts and how the secure the root user.
If we wanted to view and/or modify the details of a user, we could either double-click it or highlight it in the Objects tab and then click the Edit User button on the Objects toolbar. That opens an Editor tab for that user. It, in turn, contains five tabs named General, Advanced, Server Privileges, Privileges, and SQL Preview. We'll cover each of these tabs in greater detail in the next installment, but for now, let's see how we could change some data on the General tab to secure the root account.
You have to go on mysql cli or phpmyadmin and duplicate the root user, instead of localhost you can use '%' for any source or just put your source IP address.
Database Servers should not be easy to access from any location, they must be properly configured with granular and known access.
Good afternoon, I have a vm with ubuntu 20.04 and a private connection to a mysql service with an SSH certificate.
I need to allow remote access via Navicat to the database to facilitate administrative tasks.
On the other hand, I have tomcat up on port 8080 but I don't have access, will I have to see any firewall configuration?
I see Navicat is a Graphical database management and development software and you intend to allow remote access to the SQL instance on azure Vm to facilitate administrative tasks. As per this article, I see Navicat console, kind of establishes a connection with SQL instance somewhat similar to SQL management studio.
Firstly, if you need to remotely connect to SQL Server on the Azure VM, you must configure an inbound rule on the network security group. The rule allows traffic on the port on which SQL Server listens (default of 1433).
Note: If you selected the inbound port MS SQL (1433) in the settings during provisioning, these changes have been already made for you. You can go to the next section on how to configure the firewall.
In software applications, log files keep a record of what actions were performed in the system and perhaps who performed them. Should something unexpected occur, whether it be a security breach, system crash, or just sluggish performance, the log file(s) can be an administrator's best friend. As it happens, MySQL has several different log files that can help you find out what's going on inside the MySQL server. Today's blog is a primer on MySQL logging - a topic that we'll be referencing later on when we talk about monitoring in Navicat Monitor for MySQL/MariaDB.
Your first resource when troubleshooting server issues is the error log. MySQL server uses the error log to record information relevant to any issue which prevents the server from starting. You'll find the error log in the data directory specified in your my.ini file. The default data directory location in Windows is "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\data", or "C:\ProgramData\Mysql". Note that the "C:\ProgramData" directory is hidden by default, so you may need to change your folder options to see the directory and its contents.
For other platforms, it may be helpful to refer to the log_error config variable. If you use Navicat to manage your database(s), you can look up system variables using the Server Monitor tool. It's accessible via the Tools main menu command.
As the name implies, the general query log provides a general record of what MySQL is doing. The server writes information to this log when clients connect or disconnect, as well as each SQL statement received from clients. The general query log can be very useful when you suspect an error in a client application and want to know exactly what the client sent to the database.
By default, the general query log is disabled. To enable it, set the general_log variable to 1 (or ON in Navicat). Not assigning any value to general_log also enables it. Setting it back to 0 (or OFF in Navicat) disables the log. To specify a log file name, assign it to the general_log_file variable. To specify that the log outputs to a file, use the log_output system variable to assign the file name. MySQL can also send output to the slow_log tables in the mysql system database. In fact, file output, table output, or both can be selected. We'll talk about that in greater detail in the next blog.
MySQL WorkBench and Navicat are two popular tools used for managing and working with MySQL databases. While they both serve the same purpose, there are a few key differences that set them apart. Here are some of the main distinctions between MySQL WorkBench and Navicat:
User Interface and Design: MySQL WorkBench has a clean and intuitive interface that is focused on functionality. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for database design, development, and administration. In contrast, Navicat offers a more visually appealing and user-friendly interface with customizable layouts and themes. It emphasizes ease of use and provides a smooth workflow.
Features and Functionality: MySQL WorkBench offers a robust set of features for database modeling, SQL development, performance optimization, and database administration. It has built-in tools for database backup, restore, and synchronization. Navicat, on the other hand, provides a wide range of features including data modeling, SQL editing, data synchronization, data transfer, and backup. It also supports various database systems other than MySQL.
Performance and Speed: MySQL WorkBench is designed to perform tasks efficiently and optimize database performance. It provides a detailed view of query execution plans and offers tools for analyzing and improving query performance. Navicat, although it offers similar performance optimization capabilities, is known for its faster execution speed during data transfers and data synchronization.
Collaboration and Teamwork: MySQL WorkBench supports team collaboration by allowing multiple users to work on the same model simultaneously. It includes features for version control, annotation, and commenting. Navicat also offers collaborative features but takes it a step further by providing seamless integration with version control systems like Git. It allows effective teamwork and simplifies database development processes.
Price and Licensing: MySQL WorkBench is an open-source tool released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It is available for free and can be used without any restrictions. Navicat, on the other hand, is a commercial tool that offers different editions with varying pricing plans. While it provides a free trial version, the full-featured version requires a license purchase.
Platform Compatibility: MySQL WorkBench is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it suitable for developers using different operating systems. Navicat offers wider platform compatibility with support for not only Windows, macOS, and Linux but also mobile platforms like iOS and Android. This allows users to access and manage their MySQL databases from different devices.
In Summary, MySQL WorkBench is a powerful and functional tool with a focus on database development and administration, while Navicat offers a visually appealing and user-friendly interface with comprehensive features and better collaborative capabilities. The choice between the two tools depends on individual preferences, project requirements, and budgets.
