1. Always think about expansion. So instead of just building the database, think about how easy it would be if you wanted to add a extra field, and then how easy it would be to admin the new field.
2. I have a few big projects coming up, these tools would help so much with managing the databases with these projects.
3. Idiotic mistake of setting ID to TINYINT, allowing only 127 entries before giving me a error, which I had no idea how to fix at the time.
4. Most widely used database, almost every host offers this. Also the documentation and help available is much greater than the rest.

I’ve been using SQLYog for years and I must say is the best windows tool for managing mysql dbs. The most thing I like is the migration and backup wizards. Easy and fast

Webyog is an excellent source for web developers to maintain, design and organize database. When i was learning php/mysql my teacher exposed this wonderful tool (sqlyog) to us which helped us a lot. Thanks to webyog and sixrevision for this offer.

These tools would be cool to try. I’ve only used the free tools until now because – they are free! :)

I use MySQL for as many projects as possible because it is open source, has a huge installed base, it is robust, and (of course) it’s free.

I use MySQL because it’s open source and widely used.

I find it stable and I think it has a great future.

Been using SQLyog since 2004 because it is the only tool that makes sense. i bought my first license last year and is has been great watching the product get sweeter and sweeter.
i use sybase, dbase and oracle at work but for the Xceed Datagrid/WPF/Telerik Openaccess/MySQL project i am working on currently i use SQLyog. I have got a new laptop that is using 64bit vista. just after i had installed MySQL i found that MySQL AB/SUN/Oracle doesn’t do 64bit tools!! i thought no big i will just download SQLyog and it will be business as usual. LO AND BEHOLD!! Not only had my license to recieve updates expired, but also my account at customerarea on webyog was not letting me see my license anymore!! i thought i was well and truely screwed!! then twitter.com/sqlyog replied to my appeal to the higher power (Chirag) by saying my license never expires. i am feeling great now even. Greater since i figured that though my enterprise edition license had expired i could still use community edition (who cares about the nag screens!! keep the App open!!).
thanks SQLyog Team, webyog and Chirag. (Who dat? he be guy tellin us about update in email. Pay for enterprise get email from Chirag)

I use SQL Server and Oracle at my full-time job but certainly use MySQL for everything else. It’s the open-source and light-weight feeling that keeps me getting back to MySQL. Of course, a tool like SQLYog would certainly make me a die-hard fan of MySQL for sure.
