mysqlcc (formerly MySQL Control Center)

mysqlcc is a simple and user-friendly piece of software that was developed to serve as a means of allowing you to work with the contents of your MySQL database, letting you access it and execute queries, among others.

After having downloaded the program, you can decompress the archive and run the executable, as there is no need for you to install mysqlcc on your PC.

As a result, you can easily store and run it from any portable memory device, carrying it with you at all times and using it whenever you need to work in your database.

In terms of appearance, mysqlcc is quite far from impressive, featuring dockable panels that closely resemble the interface of Windows 98, but as long as its functionality is not hindered, you may not care about how it looks.

The database's contents are displayed in tree view mode, allowing you to access various tables and what they include, displaying some other details about them, which might come in handy.

For starters, you will need to ‘Register Server’, by inputting the database’s connection details, such as name, host name or authentication credentials, as well as choosing the preferred ‘Table Retrieval Method’, and other ‘Options’ referring to compression, queries or syntax highlighting.

Other configuration preferences include the timeout duration or the ‘Save Options’. When complete, you can press ‘Add’ for the connection to be established. mysqlcc supports multiple simultaneous databases, enabling you to access as many as you need in order to complete your tasks.

To sum it up, mysqlcc is a useful albeit rather basic application meant to help you open, manage and edit databases, featuring several essential functions that let you take full advantage of MySQL.
