“ Navicat for MySQL has been around for over ten years and allows graphical database management and development do be performed on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Pact Publishing now has book out for those wishing to master this tool. The book is divided into six chapters and starts with the basics of installation and access over SSL. Please note that there is also a Navicat premium tool that allows a database administrator to work with MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite, Oracle, and PostgreSQL databases within a single application. I highly recommend this book for those new to using Navicat. This is a great introduction to a powerful tool. Experienced users may want deeper details. But Navicat newbies should have a copy of this for a handy reference. ”
