Hi Alfredo,

I try to create a table. First thing that looks suspicious is the DDL after I hit "Apply":

CREATE TABLE `(null)`.`table1` ( `id` INT NOT NULL, ...

The database name seems to be missing. When I hit "Execute" then, the following error message appears in a GUI box:

Error executing SQL commands to create table. Can't create/write to file './(null)/table1.frm' (Errcode: 2) (error 1)

I use server version MySQL 4.1.10-standard via socket. The tool is 1.0.7-beta. Btw, does the tool write to a log file somewhere?

I also observed another problem. When I select the "Logs" tab, I have to enter the users (system, not mysql) password, because it tries apprently "to change "MySQL Admininstrator.app", though I actually doesn't want to do this. When you enter it the dialog disappears, only to pop up again immediately. No matter wether you "Cancel" or enter it again, it keeps coming up several times.

This happens also when I select the "Options" tab. There the tool reports:

The my.cnf file could not be located at /etc/my.cnf Click "Create" to initialize a new one or "Cancel".

Then it asks if it should create one. On "Create" it asks again for a password and generates an error again, which also sounds like a permissions problem.

Best, -Florian

Hi Florian,

The OSX version has been started later than the other platforms, so the version number will be a bit behind until it goes out of beta. As for your error, can you give more details? Such as error messages and version of the server you're using.

Hi,

when I try to use the Mac OS X version to create a table I get stuck really right away. Is the OS X version 1.0.7beta from the same source branch as those other ports which have version number like 1.0.19? I hope the Mac port doesn't get abandoned, since there seem to be particularly few DB browsers for OS X for any DBMS whatsoever. I could submit detailed error messages, but I also doubt that those problems aren't well known already.
