Chive – the new solution for advanced mysql management

We are proud to announce the release of Chive 0.1.1, which is primary a bug-fix release. With this release chive also works on windows servers, as we had some problems in our first preview version.

• What is Chive?

Chive is a next generation MySQL database management tool. It aims to be the most modern, pretty and efficient solution for web-based mySQL administration.
It’s based on the latest WEB 2.0 technologies, has a well engineered user interface and primary speeds up your daily work by  eliminating all the annoying and time consuming page reloads you know from  existing tools. And it gets even better:  Chive is an open source project released under the GPL licence, so you can use it for free.

Curious? Let me give you a short overview of what you can do with chive today:

• Single Inline Editing

Simply double click on the target cell, edit the value and click the save button – it couln’t be easier.

Inline editing of data

• Row editing

Almost as easy than inline editing. By clicking on the “edit-icon”, the row expands and shows all fields ready for editing. No nasty page reloads,  just edit all your data immediately!

• Fancy live search

Chive always puts your keyboard focus into the quick-search text box. This allows you to find your database/table at every location by just typing the name, navigating with the up-down keys and pressing enter – easy, fast and efficient!

There are a lot of other cool features, like syntax highlighting, profiling,  benchmarking,  bookmarks and so on. Check out our project site on http://chive-project.com for screen shots and download chive free at https://launchpad.net/chive.
