Title: offline database browsing
Post by: ed_m2 on February 06, 2009, 09:58:46 AM

hi peeps.... not a TP question i know.

do any of you use / know of a suitable tool for browsing databases offline, ie locally on your computer.... i don't want to have to set up a full apache installation.. its overkill and not sure the laptop will take it !

basically i'm rebuilding a site from scratch, but want to recover some content from the old database which i have as a (massive) SQL dump.

so something that will allow me to run the sql to rebuild the db... and then browse it myadmin stylee.

any suggestions welcome

The only thing I know of is to use a server. Wampserver is easy to use and not that big. With Wampserver, you'll have phpMyAdmin at your disposal. An added benefit is that you'd be able to build and test your site on your home computer, without having to deal with ftp.

You can just install phpMyAdmin, but in order to use it, you have to install php and MySQL. Server software includes all that.

Yes, WAMP is more than likely your easiest method at this point.
