A reliable workhorse
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use this for a MySQL database access. We write queries and often need to use the SSH tunnel feature. We like that it's free and works well for the most part.
Pros
- Readily available too for quick and easy SQL queries
- Maintains upgrades
- Works across multiple OS platforms
Cons
- On the Mac version, quitting always throws an exception. More of an annoyance but still. This should have been fixed a long time ago.
Return on Investment
- For basic MySQL users e.g. people who query databases it's a great tool.
- For more complex queries you'll want something with more horsepower that can integrated in version control and calculate execution time/cost.
