I was able to run more than one TortoiseHG clients at the same time. This is quite handy specially when working on multple projects at the same time.
Since I've upgraded to windows8.1 (from7) this doesn't seem to be doable anymore. I don't really remember if I did a special setting to enable anything like this. Therefore, wanted to ask - how can I run multiple tortoisegh's at the same time?
You can configure TortoiseHg so that it opens a new Workbench instance for each repository instead of multiple tabs in one Workbench instance.
It's in the "Settings" dialog, under Workbench -> Single Workbench Window
Note that it was added in one of the newer TortoiseHg versions (don't know which one exactly) and that it's not visible on the screenshot of the "Settings" dialog in the docs I linked above (I guess the screenshot is too old).
EDIT:
Here's a screenshot from my machine:

I have been working with Phpmyadmin for quite some time and recently i came across Jetbrains Phpstorm and Intellij which i both really liked.
Now i found the database environment Datagrip.
I wanted to know objectively:
what are the advantages of Datagrip over Phpmyadmin and vice versa.
What does Datagripgive me that Phpmyadmin lacks?
What does Phpmyadmin give me that Datagrip lacks?
I am using PhpStorm and Datagrip since February 2017. Before that I was using Dreamweaver and PhpMyAdmin.
The only thing PhpMyAdmin had an advantage over Datagrip from my perspective, was searching the whole database. But since 2019 Datagrip has a "full text search" which does exactly the same.
Furthermore:
Datagrip is fully integrated into your IDE (PhpStorm, PyCharme, IntelliJ, etc). You don't need to leave it to run any SQL queries.
within the SQL console you have access to the "live templates" which let you insert huge code snippets impossible to remember via typing a few letters of the live template name. Before:
after:
SQL consoles are saved automatically (by a consecutive number). And you can save them as SQL files to any directory right from the console via ctrl/cmd + s
you also have access to the IDE's huge clipboard with (in my case) 100 previously copied text pieces, while each of them can be a whole (SQL) document:
it so easy to modify a table without writing any queries (table name, column name, foreign keys, indexes, column data type, etc):
the tables and search results are super easy to edit and update as if you would edit an Excel table
you can assign to /setup on any project as many databases as you like and access them easily
you can assign/setup and access any remote database via an SSH tunnel
you can assign/setup any type of DBMS:
Datagrip checks the SQL query syntax live, before you even run it
this is my IDE setup for testing query time on two identical sites running on different server setups (the one on nginx/mysql and the other one on Openlitespeed/Mariadb):
All that you get only for a couple of bucks! I pay now for PhpStorm only 80€ annually! I pay often much more for a single site license of some shitty wordpress plugin! But get a really really high quality software product with PhpStorm. Seriously, probably the only company I would LOVE to work as employee (being freelancer throughout my whole dev "career") is probably JetBrains. It seems as they can read my thoughts :D. Sure there are some few minor issues. But any time they bring out a new version I am excited as a child.
No I'm not paid by JetBrains :D And no I don't hype them because I'm Russian. At the time I felt in love with them I thought it is a Czech company with a bunch of Russian devs (nothing unusual in Europe). And Czech's in general don't like Russians. So I loved them even I thought they wouldn't love me :D Only a year after I've switched from Dreamweaver to PhpStorm I've found out it is a fully Russian company.
The only thing I hate in Datagrip is that the SQL console output shares for any reason a tab/window with Docker (dafuq?) and it is a huge pain in the as* to navigate between multiple query outputs/results (as in the example above where I compare the performance of two servers)
Update:
the only flaw of Datagrip from my perspective (pain in the as* to switch between console outputs) has gone now as well! :D
I've found a setting by which you can just simply open a "services" tree (Command + Shift + T) which list all the active/latest "services". I still don't understand why the Datagrip console output doesn't have a dedicated window, but at least I can now navigate easily between the different console's output:
What does Datagripgive me that Phpmyadmin lacks?
DataGrip provides fast code completion, based on the syntax — it can even complete your JOIN clause based on foreign keys.
It also has data editor — so you can edit several cells at once or you can edit many rows locally and then submit them.
Also you can navigate inside the grid y foreign keys.
Multi-cursor in the editor can help you edit a bunch of statements.
What does Phpmyadmin give me that Datagrip lacks?
PhpMyAdmin can export to PDF, ISO/IEC 26300 - OpenDocument Text and Spreadsheet, Word, LATEX
PhpMyAdmin has more administration features, dataGrip is not focused at administration at all
It also supports working with user accounts and privileges
I have a problem using PhpStorm:
All of my sites are hosted externally, and I pull them into my local environment PhpStorm project. When I need to pull in a new project (or sync an old one), it locks up PhpStorm during this process, which could be long. If I want to work on a different PhpStorm project in the meantime, I can't do so via PhpStorm.
Does anyone know how to get around this? If it helps, I'm using Microsoft Windows.
There's an open feature request from March 2010 to solve this: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-1307
For now, you may want to consider one of these workarounds:
Exclude all folders to prevent an initial download. Go back into the settings, remove the exclusions, and then do a background sync.
Creating the project without defining a remote server. Go into the project settings, add the server, and configure the folders you'd like to sync. Then perform a background sync.
Actually I opened up a case with jetBrains about that, the thing is that PhpStorm uses all the CPU at almost 100% until it finish indexing, so this is a big problem with older computers or computers with small resources
When running mysql-workbench on Ubuntu 14.10 I am getting unexpected behavior in the GUI. If I double click on a table in the EER diagram editor I can't see a list of columns and their attributes. My screen looks like this:
When I double click on a table in the diagram editor the expected behaviour is to list each column in the table along with its attributes within the area highlighted in pink. I should be able to modify, delete, and add columns.
Why am I seeing this behaviour and how can I fix it?
I can confirm the behavior you are seeing. It doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.10 and works On Ubuntu 14.04. I use mysql-workbench on Debian Wheezy with the expected behavior. So your question caught my attention because it appeared to be a bug.
I ran it from the command line to see what was on the console. When using the EER Diagram Editor with a sample model I was greeted with a blank pane where columns and their attributes should be listed. The console shows these unexpected assertions:
(mysql-workbench-bin:52041): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: attempting to add an interface (GtkTreeDragDest) to class (gtkmm__CustomObject_16ListModelWrapper) after class_init
(mysql-workbench-bin:52041): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: attempting to add an interface (GtkTreeDragSource) to class (gtkmm__CustomObject_16ListModelWrapper) after class_init
(mysql-workbench-bin:52041): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_view_set_model: assertion 'model == NULL || GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (model)' failed
There were far more errors but I have cut the list short. These assertions suggest to me that there is a bug while creating the window pane where the column data. It isn't just the column data where this happens but on a majority of the panes at the bottom.
I work on an open source project that also had issues with Ubuntu 14.10 and it also involved Glib assertions appearing where they didn't occur before. The Glib developers have begun adding more assertions to their code to identify software bugs. It is possible that something similar applies here. In the case of the project I maintain the assertions were indicative of a problem in our project code and the newer versions of Glib made our code fail.
With that in mind I looked on the Ubuntu launchpad site. There is this bug report with the title Workbench not showing tables or query results in raring that was opened last year but people are now identifying the issue with 14.10 as well (many in the past week). I believe it is related to what you are seeing. I also observed there are nearly 3 dozen people at this time that have reported a problem. You could create an account and add yourself to the list of people experiencing a problem.
There is good news and bad news. The MySQL workbench developers have identified and fixed the problem in their latest builds. The MySQL bug report link has this to say:
Posted by developer:
Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.2.4 release, and here's the changelog entry:
On Linux, the query result view did not populate with libglib version 2.42
and above.
Unfortunately Ubuntu doesn't have a patch or work around in their official repositories yet. I think you have a few options:
Don't use mysql-workbench on Ubuntu 14.10 until the bug is fixed and a new version of mysql-workbench is released by Ubuntu.
Use an older version of Ubuntu (like 14.04) where it does work because it uses an older version of GLib
Download the source and build your own version of MySQL Workbench 6.2.4 or later when the source is released. At the time of this writing the source hasn't officially been released.
Download and build from the source for MySQL Workbench 6.2.3 using this patch . This patch was provided in the MySQL bug report linked to above.
There isn't much to tell just from your image. So I'll provide you will some common fixes for this problem:
Close and Restart MySQL Workbench
Right-click on your schema (or table) and click "refresh"
Right-click on the column window (red part) and click "refresh"
Sometimes this happens, not all programs are perfect (you loaded a good amount of data).
I am trying to find a way/tool to be able to do the following:
testers are testing the application on the main testing environment and find a bug.
They would generate a snapshot of the db used and attach it to the bug
Developer when working on the bug would be able to load this snapshot somewhere on the development server and used the instance created to work on this bug
Once the bug is fixed (and tested successfully) the instance created on the server would be destroyed.
The only thing I could think of is using Virtual Machine. Each developers would have a VM instance on the dev server and would be able to load snapshots of the bug they are working on in it. But this mean taking a snapshot of the whole environment (which is big). More over the testing are done on the dev server which is a replica of live. So nothing is changing except the db/middleware and front end.
I would love to be able to find a tool that would permit to just create/load snapshot of db (and even maybe middleware) and lets devs (so per dev instance) choosing which snapshot they want to work with.
Do you have any ideas of such tools or ways to do so?
I've tried to look around but haven't found anything helpful really.
We have a product developed in C#.Net. It is not a web application but a desktop version. It connects to various databases like MSSQL, MySQL etc.
We keep on upgrading the versions of the software for bug fixes as well as new functionality.
These updates changes the exe as well as dll used and the database also.
We would like to know what are the different methods using which we can provide updates to our customer.
Consider deploying your app with ClickOnce . Lets your users easily install the application from a web server, and it has automatic support for updates. It's integrated with visual studio, and will generate the stuff you need with the push of a button.
Well, there are several different paths to take.
Simple: Just provide a new installer that overwrites the previous installation. Send the clients an email when it's ready or simply put it up on your site.
Mid level: Provide a "check for new version" function in your app that compares it's version number to one retrieved from a web service on your side. Fire up a browser to download it and run the installer if necessary...
Best (IMHO):
Create a wrapper application for yours. This wrapper is what would actually be started when they click your icon. It would check for new versions (again once every couple of weeks), then fire off the main program if everything is good. If an update exists give the user the option to download it. Download the file and replace the real app. Then launch it. BTW, This is pretty close to the Firefox model.
