(browse and drop databases, tables, views, fields and indexes, create, copy,

drop, rename and alter databases, tables, fields and indexes, maintenance

server, databases and tables, with proposals on server configuration, execute,

edit and bookmark any SQL-statement, even batch-queries, manage MySQL users

and privileges, manage stored procedures and triggers), import data from CSV

and SQL, export data to various formats: CSV, SQL, XML, PDF, OpenDocument Text

and Spreadsheet, Word, Excel, LATEX and others, administering multiple servers,

creating PDF graphics of your database layout, creating complex queries using

Query-by-example (QBE), searching globally in a database or a subset of it,

transforming stored data into any format using a set of predefined functions,

like displaying BLOB-data as image or download-link and much more...
