Information-File for MySQL-Front 1.22
=======================================


--------------------------------------
 General:
--------------------------------------
MySQL-Front is an easy-to-use-interface for web-workers dealing with MySQL-Databases.
It requires libmySQL.dll from the MySQL-Server as "API" (provided in this zip-file -
newest version available at http://www.mysql.com.



--------------------------------------
 Installation:
--------------------------------------
MySQL-Front does *not* yet come with a fancy installer - just unzip all files into a
directory and execute mysqlfront.exe - just that simple
If you have the money to buy me a professional install-tool (e.g. Install-Shield),
please mail me: info@anse.de



--------------------------------------
 With MySQL-Front you can...
--------------------------------------
- create/drop databases 
- create/drop tables 
- edit/add/delete fields 
- edit/insert/delete records 
- edit BLOBs with Bitmap/GIF/JPEG-Support 
- a list of server-variables 
- view and kill other user-processes 
- execute (large) SQL-scripts 
- view advanced table-properties, such as Type, Comment, Key_Length and so on 
- export table-structure and data into SQL-scripts or other databases 
- replicate databases between two hosts ("Export tables...")
- save data to CSV-Files (ideal for working with MS-Excel) or HTML-tables 
- copy CSV-data/HTML-Tables to clipboard 
- copy tables to new table-names (new in 1.21)
- change table-types to ISAM, MYISAM, MERGE, HEAP or userdefined types (new in 1.21)
- add users 
- flush Host/Logs/Privileges/Tables 
- write SQL-queries with syntax-highlighting 
- import data from ODBC-datasources (new in 1.21: login-prompt)
- do table-diagnostics (check, optimize, repair, analyze)
- and a lot more... 



--------------------------------------
Changes to the last version:
--------------------------------------
- Added option in preferences-dialog: "Show native field-contents for Text-,
  BLOB- and Date-Fields"
- Changed "Default Column-width in datagrids" to "Maximium column-width", which means,
  that only columns are resized, which are bigger than this value, not just all columns

see the complete changes-log on http://www.anse.de/mysqlfront/changes.php



--------------------------------------
 Requirements:
--------------------------------------
- libmysql.dll (Client-library for MySQL-Server) 
- msvcrt.dll (Microsoft (R) C Runtime Library) 
- TCP/IP-Protocol 
- ODBC (for the ODBC-import-option) 

In case ODBC makes problems, you need to go to the Microsoft site, download and
install DCOM95 from http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom95/download.asp and then
download and install MDAC 2.6.RTM from http://www.microsoft.com/data/download_260rtm.htm
Note: DCOM95 is only needed for Windows 95 - it is not needed for later Windows versions.
