Andy Jarrett: CocoaMySQL is reborn as Sequel Pro

CocoaMySQL is reborn as Sequel Pro

CocoaMySQL was an old project on sourceforge.net which as the title implies is a Cocoa GUI client for MySQL. Being Cocoa means it looks/feels like an OSX application and also as a native app made very quick to open and interrogate data.

It did have a couple of bugs so recently I was happy to find out that the CocoaMySQL had been abandoned (I knew that bit) and it's source code has been used to create a new project called Sequel Pro which has hosted its code on Google Code.

You can see the CocoaMySQL influence within the client but the look has been very much updated. 0.9.3 is the current release and they are towards a 1.0 release which should include an updated SQL framework, bug fixes etc. Check out www.sequelpro.com and code.google.com/p/sequel-pro/

Awesome find, Andy. Thanks for sharing. I've been using NaviCat which until now was the best option, even though it's klunky to work with.
Ddaanngg Sequel Pro is so much faster than NaviCat!

Cool!

Thanks for the heads up. I used CocoaMySQL for a while and enjoyed it's ease of use. Just downloaded Sequel Pro and it looks nice.

I ran across this a month or so ago and was liking it but it was missing some features and then I ran across http://www.araelium.com/querious/, which was worth the $20. While I will still keep navicat around I am sure glad to ditch it's bulking & crash prone app.

I was so happy that CocoaMySQL was inherited by the Sequel Pro team - its been my editor of choice for a couple of years. I've been using Sequel Pro since beginning of December, the only thing i've missed, and not that much, has been the user permissions config.

Great info, thanks. I've been using CocoaMySQL for a while and like it just fine so I think I'll give the upgrade a run. Outstanding.

Cool. Even though I'm used to phpMyAdmin now, it'll be nice to have the option if it starts massively getting on my nerves! Thanks.
