Like A Fox!

Good Afternoon

Have you ever had one of those boring evenings at home and felt like playing around with Python and MySQL? I did, and now the world has Like A Fox. The name really has nothing to do with what the program does, its just a phrase I had stuck in my head while I was writing the code :)

The program can best be described as a simple GUI client for MySQL databases.

There has been so many times I’ve want to make a quick search on a database and to do so I have to:

  • SSH into the server
  • Log into MySQL
  • Run the “show databases” command ( because I can’t remember the exact name of the database I need)
  • Select the database
  • Run “show tables” ( for the same reasons as above)
  • And on and on

Way too many steps for a quick search.

The code is posted on my github page if you’d like to grab a copy to play around with.
