I first heard about Navicat from Chris Kenworthy last year and tried out the demo. Frankly, the demo is not enough. Not enough in the sense, once you try the software, you HAVE TO HAVE IT!
Probably one of the best aspects to the software is the number of ways in which you can connect to your mysql server, there’s directly connecting, SSH, SSL, and even http tunnelling! SSH is currently my favorite as it’s fast and much more secure than just directly connecting via port 3306. No other software I’ve come across have this feature.
