This wiki page is missing the notations used in SW, for example, Chen, Bachman, Crow's Foot, etc.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.69.124.91 (talk) 19:25, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MySQL Workbench

not mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.179.74.208 (talk) 23:59, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please add it if you get a chance!! Highspam (talk) 23:17, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Added it to /*General*/ today. I didn't get to the features list so it still needs to be added to that. Some of the other tools are totally deprecated like MySQL Lite Administrator and should probably be removed. Mlehner616 (talk) 19:23, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Issues

Multiple Products

There are several listed tools that are actually several products. For example, Toad has different editions for each of the major DBs with different price points for each one. I'm not sure how to take this into account in the table. Should they be split out into different rows?

Toad for Oracle: $870.00
Toad for SQL Server: $595.00
Toad for DB2: $1,500.00

Another example is SQLyog which has an Enterprise Edition and a Community Edition [1]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitchellfx (talk • contribs) 20:04, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We should split them. I think we also need a price column. Highspam (talk) 23:30, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Plugin

What is the category supposed to be? Does it indicate that the program is extensible via plugins or that the software in question is a plugin? Mitchellfx (talk) 20:36, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It indicate that the program is extensible via plugins.

SQLyog

SQLyog runs fine (other than looking like an ugly Windows application!) in Linux w/ WINE. They company supports (even the GPL version) it under WINE. Personally, I have run SQLyog this way for ~5 years without much problem (fewer problems than running it under Windows, for sure). Unfortunately, it is ONLY MySQL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.99.19 (talk) 01:58, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the table SQLyog is listed as running under linux, but running in wine shouldn't be considered as running natively. I can't tell from the website; does it run natively under linux? I expect not if they support it under wine, however it looks like there are linux versions of their other products 216.13.37.10 (talk) 18:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No Articles on Wikipedia - so no they should not be added. Vrenator ^talk 09:21, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SPAM

This page is nothing but a list of external links which is totally in contravention of WP:Spam. I suggest this list either be removed completely or stripped down to remove external links to companies or products which are not notable (don't have an article on WIkipedia). Unless anyone comes up with an argument to the contrary I may start removing some of the spam links. Vrenator ^talk 09:23, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you intend to remove entire entries or just the external links? I support removing the direct external links. Before deleting each, please consider whether they can be converted to references. I have added another banner. --Kvng (talk) 15:19, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The question I think is what is the criteria for inclusion? On many of these lists it is notability which is defined by having an article on Wikipedia, if not for the application itself at least for the company which produces it. As very few of the items listed have Wikipedia pages then maybe they should be converted to references. Vrenator ^talk 16:59, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've tidied it up making external links into references and removing red links. I think there's a lot of items which need to be removed as there are no sources but I think it's an improvement. Vrenator ^talk 14:20, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
