Hi,

I use the Dreamweaver mySQL module to get data but is there any way to use it to create tables, delete fields etc?

Which software do you use to do this? I've been using phpmyadmin but I wish there was an inbuilt option in DW so I didn't have to switch back and forth.

If you carefully design the database, you may not have to switch back and forth. I would recommend you to have your database developed at first and than you can do the programming phase.
Module you are talking about may have these(create , delete etc) functionalities in near future.

Yeah I keep trying to do it that way but end up forgetting a field or think 'that feature would be nice' and add it, then get back to coding and think of something else. : S

Absolutely the WORST way to design data structures.

You will end up with data duplication, inefficient relationships, inefficient indexes etc etc

What is? Dreamweaver? Or revising your mySQL tables?

Designing data structures "on the fly". it's the same with programming.

Every programmer thinks they can write a whole application from the keyboard and 99.9% of them can't.
If you do not start with a reasonably well formulated plan, the end result will be something like early versions of oSCommerce!
A mish mash of bits and pieces, loosely cobbled together with hacks and kludges.

When you come across a "feature" that "would be nice", add it to a "todo" list and build it in later as a "plugin" or "module".

And Dreamweaver cannot design databases.

I use SQLyog for 4 years now. Dreamweaver works better in what it was known to be good at -- WYSIWYG HTML editing.

creek23, how does that software work? Is it free to use? If you could tell us a bit about it then that would be great.

Thanks.

it is free (as in free speech not free beer) and open source MySQL GUI. visit webyog and get your (redistributable) copy.

Thanks for that it looks like an awesome piece of software. I'll take a closer look later on this week.
