I'm a long standing CocoaMySQL user but I just spent the afternoon reviewing all the SQL managers I could find on Versiontracker because I saw this on 'sale' today. It's FAR more polished than anything else I found (RazorSQL, SQLGringer, CocoaMySql, etc.) and CocoaMySQL, even though it's free, is far ahead of the others. (It doesn't do as much, but it does what I need well.)
But Navicat offers a HUGE feature set just for managing mySQL and it does it really well. I'm glad I'm not paying full price for it, but I am going to buy it.

Solid product, but needs some UI enhancements - Version: 7.1.2, 4/21/2008 10:42PM PST

I've been using Navicat on and off for about six months, and overall it's a solid, full-featured app. The schema and data synchronization is excellent. Customer support is also very responsive. The one big complaint I have is with the UI...it sorely needs a refresh. There are very few options for customization, such as font or list display settings. The icons are gawdy, with no ability to use small icons in the toolbar, or remove icons from the toolbar. Otherwise, it works as designed.
Excellent: polished, reliable, and really useful - Version: 7.0.6, 9/7/2007 05:52PM PST

If you are spending a significant amount of time creating, adjusting and refining mysql databases this software should regularly bring a smile to your face. Yes, there are web-based (free) solutions, and other applications like CocoaMySql and YourSQL, but Navicat easily justifies its initial cost with its slick, helpful interface and extra functionality (over at least the first two: I've not spent a lot of time with phpmyadmin). Small bonus for academic users: the price is about 20% cheaper.
Four stars instead of five because the Windows version has a few nice features that aren't (yet) implemented in the Mac version (Form View, Code Completion). The prices reflect these differences to some extent (ie the Windows version is more expensive), but it'd be nice to achieve feature parity across the board.

I have been looking for software to upload tab delimited utf8 files to my MySQL DB on a Linux server.
Many of the apps I have tried don't even include the ability to upload. Navicate looks like a really nice app and it does have a very nice upload wizard that worked first time for me with no hassle but... It is so slow it would take about 40 hours to upload one of the 6mb files I have.
I could not see any way to replace rather than add so this would mean the table in the on-line DB would have to be deleted then be off line for 40 hours while the file is uploaded.
For my purposes it is of no value but it does look good for managing your DBs

Good, but Over-Priced - Version: 6.3.1, 7/31/2006 03:25PM PST

NaviCat is a nice tool for managing your MySQL databases, has all the capabilities one could hope to find in this type of application.
But unfortunately it is way over-priced, so you are better off using one of NaviCat's competitors. Especially considering that this is a tool to manage MySQL - which is open-source and free, seems at least they could have a free/inexpensive version that isn't licenced to be used in commercial environments.

I tried Navicat on a Mac. I am a long term user or CocoaMysql. I actually like the capabilities of this product, especially the SSH tunneling. However, I find the help system to be nearly useless. My first problem was that I tried to make a backup of a database. I got a completion message, but have no idea where to find the file that it creates. The docs do not illuminate. The knowledge base answer at the Navicat site is only pertinent to the PC version. I'm not going to buy it, as the docs don't give me the confidence that I won't screw up my database.

Really great program - Version: 6.1.4, 3/1/2006 01:53AM PST

It has a robust finished feel to the program. I've tried a lot of the freeware programs out there and they don't have the polish that navicat does. I think it's worth the money. You get what you pay for.
No Universal Binary!?? - Version: 6.1.4, 2/28/2006 08:49AM PST

I sure would like to see a UB before I upgrade. C'mon, Navicat -- get with the program!

Navicat is in a class by itself. Yes, you can manage MySQL on the Mac with Webmin or phpMyAdmin, but Navicat does so much more. If you're a serious MySQL user, you'll understand why Navicat is worth it. Remote SSH logins, scheduled backups (that actually work on a Mac), all the goodies you'd expect from a commercial application with REAL live support. Runs on Mac, Linux, Windows. Even if you're not a MySQL guru (I'm not) you'll like Navicat's ease of use to get up and running (very intuitive), yet loaded with power to repair, optimize, automate. Love it. I use it on over two dozen MySQL databases on Tiger Server.
But, why the french translation which is available for Windows version of Navicat is not available for MacOS X version?
I hope this will be added soon. It is away easier to work using mother tongue than using a foreign language.
