GUI Editor for MySQL 5

Most of PHP/MySQL programmers will use phpMyAdmin as an administration tools when managing MySQL database. I'm one of them but i get a difficulties when working with MySQL 5 routines (stored procedure and stored function). So, i'm looking an alternate GUI for managing MySQL database.

If you have a difficulties when create/edit/drop stored procedure when working with MySQL 5 then you can try to use GUI Tools from MySQL. You can try to use MySQL GUI Tools from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html

The MySQL GUI Tools Bundle for 5.0 includes the following products :

1. MySQL Administrator 1.2
2. MySQL Query Browser 1.2
3. MySQL Migration Toolkit 1.1

This tools is easier to use. Below is the screen shot of MySQL Administrator when working with stored procedure

How to Get Result Set from MySQL 5 Stored Procedure using Classic ASP

For developer or programmer that worked on classic ASP, if you want to communicate with MySQL 5 then you need to install MySQL Connector/ODBC from MySQL official site. The MySQL Connector/ODBC is the name for the family of MySQL ODBC drivers (previously called MyODBC drivers) that provide access to a MySQL database using the industry standard Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) API.

You need to specify the correct DRIVER on your database connection string. The source code below is an example of how classic ASP work with MySQL 5 stored procedure.

For a note :

Default PORT for MySQL is 3306. I'm here using 3307 because i'm installed 2 versions of MySQL on my computer that MySQL 4.0.26 on port 3306 and MySQL 5.0.45 on port 3307.

The stored procedure called MB_SelectInvoice() is look like here

CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `MB_SelectInvoice`()
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM jmnsms.t_invoice;
END
