Re: Can we expect to see MySQL in NB soon?
I haven't read the all discussion as it somehow started to look that
it was going on in circles, and the main point of it centered in
embedding mysql int the IDE. I don't usually go for the Miscrosoft way
of doing things, but as I'm stating to use VS2005 more often, I have
to say the integrating, and not embedding, like Microsoft has done
with it's IDE and MSSQL is a nice thing to have.
I would like the possibility of choosing either to have mysql in the
download or to install it myself, and I would like the installer to
detect that mysql is already installed in my system and have use it,
like VS2005 installer does.
VS2005 uses alot of features based on MSSQL, there are various wizards
that speed up integration with the database server, like setting up
ASP.net to use Membership on some existing database, all done inside
the IDE, without having to fire up the MSSQL manager. That I would
like to have in Netbeans, a simpler way of setting my application to
use mysql, a more usable database browser, more tools that would allow
me to do almost everything I need without stepping out of the IDE.
To have it embedded in Netbeans would not be that good, as it was
stated before, I also have some of the tools already installed and
configured to work the way I want, mysql being one of them, having the
IDE's installer requesting me to install another version of an
existing tool is not something I crave for :)
I think my point goes down to more integration not embedding.
