Anything better than CocoaMySQL?

When I first got CocoaMySQL, I thought it was the greatest GUI app to work with MySQL databases. But the more I work with it, the more small bugs and annoyances pop up.

Anyone know of anything better? Doesn't have to be free.

Thanks!

You do realize that it is open source, and you can correct these things for yourself if you wish? Care to be more specific?

Ah the rub. that's the problem with open source. most people taking and not enough contributing. oh well.

that being said, i really do like cocoa my sql. but if you need to look at other options just type mysql in versiontracker. there are a few free ones out there and some paid mysql editors which you should keep in mind.

remember, open source software is free, only if your time is.

Our software company is working on something. I'm not on that project so I probably shouldn't say much, but its nearly ready for release. Last I checked it was just going through some final testing.

I still use CocoaMysql all the time, but once I needed an SQL program that could read in XML files and the only one I found was Navicat

CocoaMysql has lots of little quirks that I don't like, but it does most everthing I need so I stick with it. When I tested Navicat I liked it, but didn't want to pay for it. It's a Windows port IIRC, so it has a 'different' interface, but it also has lots of features.

Side Note: why in the heck do SQL programs export XML, but don't import the same format? I exported a big DB with many tables, deleted it, then when I tried to regenerate the DB on another server I found that CocoaMysql can't import an XML exported file. Weird.
