Ulysses 1.2.2 (Mac OS X)
There is also CopyWrite and Jer's Novel Writer. I will download this. I think that price tag is not too high if it helps you sell some copy, but CopyWrite is very cheap and Novel Writer is still in free beta, but very stable and usable. [alert admin]

Q 0.8.0a949 (Mac OS X)
Q runs and you can create images, but they shutdown as soon as you start them up without an emulation window even being opened. In the Q forum the developer cites a problem related to quartz mode where he did not notice a difference between Tiger and Panther. Doesn't work in OpenGL or Quickdraw modes either. [alert admin]

PGnJ 0.5 (Mac OS X)
I really like the column resizing, although it will means that I need to redesign my quotes database. Presently all I can see is the quotation, with author details off screen. Probably needs a preference to turn auto-resizing on and off. When a new browser is opened it is still part of the smae instance, allowing F10 expose to view all open browsers. Views work, but currently cannot be seen via edit table (but on todo list) No adjustable preferences, but they are on to todo list. About PnG reports that this 0.5 beta is 1.0.1. Little documentation, but the developer is very good at responding to emails, and resolved my earlier post (now deleted as it is no longer true) that I could not see anything in the database tree. The problem was that my postgres setup is not added a required function when it creates a new database. [alert admin]

Navicat (PostgreSQL client) 6.1.5 (Mac OS X)
Despite the noted problems with not null columns and schemas, this is the best postgres gui I have tried for one simple reason: the multi-document model. When you click in the main window to do anything it opens a new window that is part of the same running instance. This means that you can use expose [F10] to view the open windows side by side, which is very helpful for a relational database set-up (i.e., when most columns are integers referring to entries in other tables). To compare free products you can use expose for Aqua Data Studio by using its Edit Table option, but there is no equivalent Edit Views option despite the fact that in many of ADS's supported database engines views are partially updatable. In Bigger SQL and PGnJ you can open a new connection, but in expose terms that is a separate instance and so can only be viewed by F9, where the windows tend to be too small to be much use. The one thing holding me back from purchasing Navicat is its upgrade policy. It is free upgrades for minor revisions. As the Windows versions are at 7 and the OSX at 6 there is the danger of buying now and finding that the OSX bugs are fixed in a version for which you have to pay again. A license covering a major upgrade in the first 12 months would be better. This is particularly a problem in a product that is clearly a port from MySQL Navicat (e.g., you can only create rules in design table, when rules are the way to make a view updatable.) [alert admin]

Navicat (PostgreSQL client) 6.1.4 (Mac OS X)
When adding a record and leaving it blank, on commit Navicat enters a null value, which is obviously a problem with non-null columns. [alert admin]

CocoaMySQL 0.5 (Mac OS X)
Problems with changing ENUM fields
All versions of this programme that I have tried fail to cope with enum fields, because there is a character limit (255?) in Cocoa MySQL box meaning that it cannot edit a long list. Long can mean as little as 30 item, even though an enum can manage 65,535 elements. I still use Cocoa-MySQL 0.7b3 as my main client, but remember to use phpMyAdmin for editing enum fields.

Ext2 Filesystem 1.4d1 (Mac OS X)
It is Tiger Compatible but buggy
This latest version is Tiger compatible, but you will get a kernel panic if you do a Spotlight search while an ext2/3 partition is mounted. This bug has been registered with the project. [alert admin]

CocoaMysql-SBG 0.7.1 (Mac OS X)
The original beta is now at 0.7b3 and does views, after a swift response from the developer to my query if views were planned. This beta is not made available on Version Tracker. You have to go to the developer site then Beta. I have now removed the SBG fork from my system. Note that this is a beta of the fork of the original 0.5, it is not keeping up to date with the changes (principally drop downs for enums) in the original's 0.7 beta. [alert admin]

phpMyAdmin 2.8.0 (Mac OS X)
Cannot view tables inside Capitalised databases
Due to a change in the way 2.8.0 has been coded, it has been caught out by a MySQL bug. This means that if you have any Databases that are capitalised (e.g., "Views" rather tha than "views"), then the tables within them will not be recognised. The CVS version has a workaround, but this version still has the problem. [alert admin]

CocoaMySQL 0.5 (Mac OS X)
Views work with latest beta (0.7b3)
Just downloaded it and confirm that it works, but obviously no time yet to see if it is buggy, but no problems so far. [alert admin]

Oops. Monolingual only removes files from OSX not from applications.

General Public Are Developers (sort of)
Remember that you only have Firefox because of the Open Source community which encourages non-developers to join in the development process by testing it (the general user is better than a developer at spotting what needs changed for real world use). A large proportion of Firefox users have been using it from long before it went 1.0. I have been using versions of Mozilla since the code was donated to the open source community by…

Uncheck optional sample alarms in iTunes
Thanks for that. I had not previously realised that shuffle could be ignored through the check box. I had followed the advice an Apple forum to shuffle on playlists as the only way to avoid unwanted tunes being shuffled to.

Navicat's approach is correct, but ...
Navicat responded that when empty is not specified that null is the SQL92 default. This is correct although I am not sure that in-table editing is covered in any version of the SQL standard. I responded that all other GUIs that I have used switch the default to empty when the column is defined as not null. This was passed onto their develpment team as a feature request, but is still not there. Technically,…

This is nothing to do with your Safari settings but a long standing problem with phpmyadmin, which has been solved in the CVS version (2.9.0), but is still present in this new stable 2.8.0. See http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1418593&forum_id=72909

Even if from your 800,000 records you select all client orders in the past year and get 35,000 records in your result, the point remains. This is still more than 2000. The limit does not mean that you only ever see 100 records (it is not the same as limit in mysql, but the programme is at fault for telling you that there are "100 records in the table"). You go to the bar which…

Why is your limit as high as 2000? Do you realy want to browse through that much. My limit is set as 100 and for the most part I search for items rather than browse. As you are not browsing for the whole 78,000, why is browsing through 2000 any better? Most phpMyAdmin users operate with a limit of 30.

You need SBG fork to use views
Just discovered that there is a beta for the SBG version. It works with views and I have not had any autoinc corruption problems since writing my earlier warning (see ny comment on that post). Note that this is a fork development. Despite being called a 0.7 beta it is not a fork of the official beta (i.e, it does not have drop-downs for enums). See http://www.theonline.org/cocoamysql/
