Working with MySQL on MAC. GUI Client, Web Based and Terminal

MySQL is most popular open source relational database. I have been using it myself for my PHP, Python and Ruby projects. Obviously, we need some client(s) to access MySQL database. In this post I am going to list down few clients. 

 Environment:

 I am using XAMPP on Mac. You can install MySQL separately if you want to.

 1. Desktop GUI client

 Use SequelPro it is a nice tool and free. 

Set it up and you are ready to go.

 2. PHPMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP, intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. It gets setup with XAMPP. 

 3. Terminal

 Open up terminal and execute following commands - 

 Go to the directory with mysql binaries

 cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin;

 Access mysql command line tool using

 ./mysql --user=root --password=

Create a background / taskbar application in c# .NET

Recently, I was working on integration of two windows applications. First application will launch the second application on login and then they both will communicate using pre-defined set of instructions.

First application will launch the mediator (third application) and it will launch the second application. For this purpose we needed to create a task bar application (which will run in background). How To ·          Create a new windows project and delete the default form (Form1). ·          In Program.cs create a new class and inherit it from Form. ·          Please refer the code below. ·          Now change the Main method.

Check SQL Server Job status (State) using sp_help_job and xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs

This article is about checking the status of a SQL job. In our work place we have lot of SQL jobs. These jobs will run whole day and are business critical. They will load the data and generate extracts which will be used by business people. Thus, it becomes quite essential to support the system efficiently so that the job finishes in time and as desired. Also, while designing a new system sometimes we need to check the dependency of one job over another. In such scenario we need to check whether a particular job has finished or not. All this can be achieved in SQL Server by using the procedures:- sp_help_job xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs Note: xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs is an undocumented proc inside of sp_help_job and is used extensively to get SQL agent job information. sp_help_job: This procedure gives some insight into the status, and information, about a job. This stored procedure provides information such as last start time, job status etc. Syntax sp_help_job { [ @job_id= ] jo...
