    Review HeidiSQL

    Do you have to manage a MySQL database and don't know how to do it? doesn't PHPMyAdmin convince you? Then you should know that, fortunately, there are many exciting alternatives, such as HeidiSQL. Thanks to this program, you can carry out many of the actions that the previous one can offer you, but with an interface designed specifically for the most demanding in the segment.

    HeidiSQL is software that has been developed precisely so that we can administer tables, records, and databases in SQL format, becoming one of the best exponents of its category with time. In addition, being an open-source program, you can be entirely sure that it will remain free, and it is even possible to make some modifications if we have this type of preparation.

    How it works

    The main tasks that we will be able to carry out with HeidiSQL have to do with the generation of reports in this format, in addition to the synchronization of the information in two different tables with which we are working at the same time. Finally, the import of additional text files to these tables or the export of the contents of the tables to other standard formats.

    HeidiSQL is also an exciting alternative for those who have to work with others regarding the SQL format since it will allow you to add several users to the same project, managing the privileges of each one of them. As the person in charge of that particular job, you can modify the privileges and add or remove users as you see fit.

    As far as tables are concerned, thanks to HeidiSQL, you can create as many as you want, delete them if you no longer need them, edit them as many times as necessary, and even insert MEMO-type fields. We wanted to make a stop in this sense to clarify that this tool also has support for many of the main image formats, among which we can talk about JPEG and GIF, although there are many others.

    HeidiSQL has many other features with enormous potentials, such as the section that has been specially developed to perform all kinds of queries to its database, thus knowing the details of the syntax commands. In this aspect, you can select colors to distinguish the SQL commands from others.

    We talked before about the ability of this service to export and import content. Well, we should point out then that HeidiSQL can allow us to export data and tables in formats such as XML, HTML, or CSV. Meanwhile, you can import ASCII files and even binary files if you wish.

    We liked the HeidiSQL user interface from all points of view. First, it does not integrate more functions and icons than necessary, making it easy and intuitive to move between menus. In addition, although the Spanish translation it offers is not complete, it is present in almost all its windows and sections, making the approach to its tools more direct.

    To take into account

    Although in these cases, we always recommend installing the programs to users who will work only with a computer; we did not want to forget that HeidiSQL also has a portable version. This makes it an ideal assistant for those who have to work with SQL formats for a good part of the day on several different computers, as it will save installation processes.

    On the other hand, and something that does not always happen, it is good to think that HeidiSQL has been constantly updated since it was launched several years ago, which allows it to adapt to new techniques and trends in its field.

    The best

    The highlight of HeidiSQL is undoubtedly the enormous potential of this service, which allows us to carry out practically all kinds of tasks that we can relate to the SQL format. The truth is that it has the solution for almost any need associated with this type of content, which is more than enough reason to recommend it.

    The worst thing

    HeidiSQL does not have too many defects and is much less critical. However, we wanted to take advantage of this section to remind you that this is not a program that the inexperienced will be able to use without delay from the first moment. If you have no previous experience with the SQL format, you may need an initial adaptation period, so keep that in mind.

    Rating

    In general terms, this approach to HeidiSQL has made it very clear to us that we are in the presence of one of the best possible utilities for generating and managing all kinds of content in SQL format. If you have previous knowledge and have not been satisfied with other similar platforms, you will probably find in this one everything you need.
