Free CMSB Plugin - MySQL Console (Beta)

By Dave - November 17, 2009

Hello All,

We've just released a free plugin called "MySQL Console". Basically what this does is gives you a console within CMSB where you can directly execute MySQL commands so you don't need to swap out to phpMyAdmin or some other program (which isn't always installed or is more hassle etc).

From within the console you can run queries to examine what's in the database, check settings, test queries and where statements, or even do search and replaces (using mysql code).

This is very powerful and intended for more advanced users. As long as you don't run any queries that start with DELETE, INSERT, or UPDATE you'll generally be ok, though.

This plugin is already a huge timesaver for us and will also allow us to provide simpler support for advanced users as we can just send you a query to run instead of having to write a PHP wrapper around it to make it run.

You can download the plugin here:

Please post any comments, feedback, successes, etc along with any suggestions of what you might like to see in the preset query dropdown.

Note: This plugin requires the latest CMSB Beta (v1.37).

Thanks!

Re: [Dave] Free CMSB Plugin - MySQL Console (Beta)

Wow!

This plugin is great! It really simplifies my life and allows me to avoid the cpanel login, then starting phpMyAdmin.

At this point all I can say is kudos for a great plugin.

I can think of two features that might be useful:

a. ability to save a query (maybe to "presets" list); and
b. ability to print the results of your query (or save).

Great job Dave!
