FUCK MYSQL WORKBENCH

It was sortof okay ten years ago. Did they fix the crashes?

@Oktokolo No. To be honest a lot of the time it works fine, but I've spent all day trying to fix an issue with connections taking ~5 seconds to obtain every time they are called and when I try to change the configuration and reboot the MySQL service it doesn't let me.

Did this cesspool of shit honestly survive...

Remember fixing gentoo build files for it.

The build system was... Copy pasta from various cmake tutorials that worked under very limited circumstances...

I hated MySQL workbench. After a while I gave up on patching and took Dbeaver. Less shiny, but at least it has less of the taste of a toy project.

@babyface I only used it for the schema diagrams. But good to know, that it stayed true to its quality standard...

Working with MySQL on linux is fine but running a local MySQL test server can eat up hours when something breaks. Now I can't even start the mysql server without workbench crashing haha.

dbeaver for MySQL. Way better than workbench...though I guess anything is better.

What does this have to do with devRant?

@babyface Don't use workbench for actual work. MySQL/MariaDB works fine without workbench. Use the command line client or whatever your IDE of choice offers for productive interaction.

Workbench always was good for designing and diagramming databases only. And even for that there are better tools by now (Navicat is pretty good but neither free nor gratis)...

FUCK FUCK FUCK SO MUCH WORKBENCH!

For me on Linux its so slow.. and when i unfocus it and focus it again it takes 10sec to do sth. No crashes so far though

@Root at this point... how can u still care

@Root Idk I'm new to this site did I not use the right tag?

@babyface If it’s a rant, use #rant. If it’s about the devRant platform itself, use #devrant.

On Windows, HeidiSQL has been pretty decent. But Navicat is hands down the best MySQL client I ever used. It is paid though and my pocket doesn't allow that much. So Adminer or CLI is what I use. BTW, PHPMyAdmin also sucks.
