Introduction
------------
This is a beta version of the new MySQLGUI version 1.7
This release has few new features, of which one is very important,
and it also contains few minor bug fixes.
What follows is short instructions for building it under Unix.
You can also read INSTALL.TXT on the subject. README contains few
instructions on installation of binary versions.
Building MySQLGUI 1.7
---------------------
In short, building this version requires fltk lib, fl_editor, mysql++, Flvw
widgets, mysqlgui sources and development tools and libs.
Building of mysqlgui is now possible only under Unix versions.
FLTK should be minimum 1.0.7, standard version from www.fltk.org
fl_editor, should be a special version, built just for mysqlgui and
available from the same URL, as mysqlgui:
http://www.mysql.com/download_clients.html
If you already have FLTK installed, if it is version 1.0.1, you do not need
to upgrade to more recent version, although it is recommended as there are
numerous bug fixes.
You require mysql++ lib and include files, OBLIGATORY version 1.7
, available at www.mysql.com/mysql++. Read README in that lib for compilation
instruction.
Mysql++ is available from:
http://www.mysql.com/download_mysql++.html
You also require flvw widgets, made by Larry Charlton and available from
either:
http://flvw.sourceforge.net
OR
http://fwidget.netpedia.net
After you build a lib, just copy it to mysqlgui directory. Flvw Include
files are already in FL/ subdirectory of mysqlgui source directory, so there
is no need to copy them too.
Regarding configuring for mysqlgui, there are minor changes, just follow
the instructions on creating [client_fltk] entries in /etc/my.cnf or
my.cnf or c:\my.cnf under Win32. In all distributions of MySQLGUI
there is always an example of my.cnf file. As from this version, if
client_file is not specified under [client_fltk], then some defaults are
assumed. If help_file is not specified under same header, then viewing of
the help file will be disabled.
New features
------------
- As from version 1.7, mysqlgui can accomodate result sets / table of any
size, limited by MySQL server, operating and file system only. This is
enabled with `memory save' option. However , if result set is large,
this option is enabled automatically by mysqlgui. In that mode,
mysqlgui can accomodate result sets of any size, while waisting
relatively modest amount of virtual memory. As mysqlgui can open many
windows, dialogues and spreadsheets, so user can view simultaneously as
many result sets as necessary.
- In process dialogue, if mysqlgui detects server version 3.23.07 or
above, full processlist is run, to enable viewing of entire query string
- Font searching in options dialogue should be faster on all systems
- If not specified path for options file is assumed
Beside new features, there are numerous bug fixes, of which most important
ones are bugs fixed in exception handling in administrative functins.
