MySQL Workbench. It's not too bad once you get used to it - much more stable than the old MySQL Administrator/MySQL Query Browser two-app combination.Comment

Ah but if you're talking really big computers then you'll find most of them are either running DB2 or Adabas, Oracle are nowadays just a bit player (I've used on them) and either too damn expensive or non-existent support.Originally posted by stek View PostJust to throw a spanner in the works and not really relevant - but my Oracle DBA pals ridicule DB2 summert raw, how does DB2 fit in the Proper Oracle, MySQL, Postgres scheme of things?

I don't know Oracle would want to be discussed as competitors to MySQL... I thought Oracle and MSSQL were competing at the medium-high level with DB2 above them. However I've never actually come across a project using DB2 so who knows.
Not a dig at MySQL though - merely commenting that "medium high" in DB terms is pretty gigantic these days.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
