"SQL Buddy review"
What do you like best about SQL Buddy?

It's simple and easy to use. You upload a folder to your desired host, open a web browser pointing such to point. Definitely a full fledged low consumption web app to manage your databases. It can be easily accessed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Buddy?

It needs to be updated regularly. Source code hasn't been maintained. It is fully functional later, it could use some regular updates. It should be compatible with different systems like mobile phone and tablets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An alternative to MySQL Management dashboards."
What do you like best about SQL Buddy?

Lightweight Web Based MySQL Management application.

It's plain simple to use. You upload a folder to your desired host, open a web browser pointing such location and voila!

At the login screen you setup HOST, User and Password. Then, the magic happens. User management, database data browsing and editing databases structures, importing and exporting data, and finally queries.

Definitely a full fledged low consumption web app to manage your databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Buddy?

Source code hasn't been maintained in a while, although it's fully functional right now, it could use some updates. Maybe a responsive web design is desired by users, so you can use it in your phone / tablet browser with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best lightweight MySQL webapp out there."
What do you like best about SQL Buddy?

Whenever I'm working with MySQL databases I will always use SQL Buddy, simple, great UI and powerful, there's no need for something more complicated or server-heavy. If you're not doing something rather complicated with your databases, i can tell you it will fulfill your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Buddy?

The webdesign could use some work, it should work in as many screens sizes as possible. It lacks of query auto completion, but as i said, if you aren't doing something really complicated with your databases, it should fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An alternative to MySQL Management web apps."
What do you like best about SQL Buddy?

Easy to use, versatile and minimalistic UI. You can get it up and running as fast as how fast you can upload it to your server. You can get access to any remote or local server no matter where you're running your sql buddy app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Buddy?

There should be a responsive web design template, and they should keep it up to date, maybe give it some no-sql db functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Handy, lightweight database development tool"
What do you like best about SQL Buddy?

SQL Buddy is a super handy little app for seeing a birds eye view of your databases. Would I use it in production? No. But when it comes to the small tasks that need to be done when developing a web app, it hands down beats the heavyweights like PHPMyAdmin.

The setup time is tiny, the UI is clean, it uses asynchronous requests for many of the operations making it fast – which is really the key feature when developing something with a database backend. You can easily reset and view data far faster than a DBs command-line tools or a heavier one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Buddy?

Sometimes its relative lack of features can leave you searching the menus for a command, when you end up having wasted that time and needing to use a bigger tool anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and amazing"
What do you like best about SQL Buddy?

It's great to be able to manage my SQL tables on the web. It's cross platform and much simpler than using a command line interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Buddy?

There aren't many things that I dislike about this software. But the look of the interface is a bit hard to use and not entirely nice looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
