User administration in minutes

Administering users, granting privileges and viewing user privilege information has never been easier. Now you can leverage the full power of MySQL's user management and privilege capabilities to fully protect your MySQL server host using an integrated graphical user administration console. For example, a form-based interface provides a simple method for adding users, assigning passwords and including user profile information.

Single view dynamic health monitoring

Dynamic health monitoring gives you an immediate view into the key indicators of the health of your MySQL environment. Dynamic graphs enable you to easily view percentage of memory usage, connection usage, hit rates, as well as the number of SQL queries on an ongoing basis, as your system runs. The Disk Health tab gives you an overview of the amount of hard disk space, tablespace, and log files being used.

Quickly optimize MySQL

MySQL Administrator allows you to easily view and set up key parameters so you can quickly optimize the performance of MySQL. Using a graphical forms-based environment, you quickly fine-tune general and advanced parameters. For example you can set memory usage parameters and configure server start-up parameters related to the MyISAM and InnoDB table types.

Rapid disaster prevention and recovery

You can rapidly create consistent backups and restore data by simply visually selecting the schemas and tables you want to back-up/restore from your hierarchical data directory. The graphical environment gives you additional visibility into Tabletype, Rows, Data Length, and Update time.

Server information at-a-glance

The server information section of MySQL Administrator allows you to quickly view basic information about the server and client. This view gives you immediate visibility into items such as server status, client and server version numbers and IP address, as well as connection information.
