Dashboard view of the Top 5 tables being used by this blog. Current release of MONyog shows the disk usage even at table level.

Changes (as compared to 2.72) include:

Features:
* Added new monitoring module displaying disk usage information for databases and tables.
* Display of slow log data in Log Analyser had added more information (about when query occured, information about number of rows examined and sent)

Bug fixes:
* When a multibyte character was used in a connection name the display would garble and also the connection could not be deleted from GUI.
* When connection was not available the caption for counters should display “n/a”. Since 2.71 it would instead display a string exposing an internal value (example: “NumCounterWithSeconds”)

As compared to 2.8 beta1 this also includes:

Feature:
* Disk usage (table level view) now displays the ENGINE for every table.

Introduction

If you are hosting your website with Yahoo Small Business Hosting, you will be forced to use a web based admin tool to manage your MySQL database. In fact, the help page on managing MySQL categorically mentions that “You will not be able to access your database using a desktop client or other tools run outside of Yahoo!”(I bet they don’t read our blog). In this article, I will show you how you can use all the cool and powerful features of SQLyog Enterprise with Yahoo Small Business Hosting. The same concepts can be applied to connect to other hosting providers like Godaddy, Network Solutions etc. which don’t provide direct access to MySQL database.

Step by Step Setup Guide

1. Login to your Yahoo web-hosting and you will land in home page of “Web Hosting Control Panel”.

2. Select “Create and Update Tab” in the Web Hosting Control panel.

3. (Optional) Click “MySQL Database” under “Other Site Building and Editing Tools” to create/alter your MySQL username/password. If you already know your MySQL user name and password, skip this step.

4. Now you need to upload the Tunnel Page (shipped with SQLyog Enterprise) to the Yahoo Web Server.

5. Select “Easy Upload” option under “File Management Tools”.

6. Type in the path to SQLyogTunnel.php (available in the SQLyog Enterprise installation folder) and click on the “Upload Files”  button.

7. Verify the uploaded file by accessing it with a browser.

8. Start SQLyog Enterprise and configure the Connection tabs as specified in the screenshots. Change the User Name and Password to your Username/Password specified in Step 4. Make sure that the MySQL Host Address is set to “mysql” and not  “localhost”.

Click “HTTP” tab, Check “Use HTTP Tunneling” & in the URL field, provide the URL to SQLyogTunnel.php under your domain and click on “Connect”.

9. You are now connected to your hosted MySQL Server. Enjoy the power of SQLyog Enterprise!

Bug fixes:
* Pressing Crtl+end in GRID did not show the last row. This bug was introduced in 7.1.
* Fixed a flickering issue in Data tab. It was a threading issue related to the STOP button introduced in 7.1.
* When executing a query not returning a result set, focus would leave editor (unless the ‘keep focus on editor’ option was set).  This made no sense.  Now focus will be kept on editor if there is no result set.
* Data sync could fail with column names containg a SPACE character and if specific keywords was used for column names.

Also SJA for Linux was updated with the fix for the Data Sync issue.

Changes (as compared to 7.02) include:

Features:
* Added keyboard shortcut (F6) for Edit Index.
* The behaviour of Ctrl+R shortcut was slightly changed. It will now position cursor inside the active tab in Result pane. Before it was functional only with DATA tab and RESULT tabs.
* Added tab-navigation (for query tabs) entries in Edit-menu. Also the active Query tab can now be closed from menu.
* In certain situations Schema Sync would generate CHANGE-clauses for a column that basically did nothing (changing column to what it was). This is now ‘cleaned up’.
* A tab in the Query pane (a Query tab, a Schema Designer tab and a Query Builder tab) can now be closed with Alt+L keyboard shortcut and can now be navigated with Ctrl+pgup and Ctrl+pgdn keyboard shortcuts.
* Favorites are now displayed using Scintilla editor component. For statements with complex formatting this makes the preview more readable.
* Autocomplete now supports alias in UPDATE and DELETE statements.
* BLOB viewer and the program dialogues for schema sync, create/alter table, manage indexes (including sub-dialogues) manage foreign keys (including sub-dialogues) and manage privileges are now resizable. From now resizable dialogues have a ‘gripper’ icon in right bottom corner.
* Added a movable ’splitter’ between the object area and the script area in schema sync dialogue.
* Preferences dialogue was redesigned.
* Added an option in Preferences to ‘Automatically refresh DATA tab on focus’. This was the program behavior before 7.0. In 7.0 to 7.02 it was not. Now it is optional.
* Shift+click is now functional for multiple selection everywhere in GRIDS (before it was only in Result/Table Data tabs).
* ’show in text’ (Ctrl+L) is now functional for both DATA tab and RESULT tab. Also ‘Find’ (Ctrl+F) now works with DATA tab in text mode.
* Stop option implemented in data tab. This is in particular useful if accidentially the ’show all’ option was selected for a huge table.
* Added an icon in data tab tool bar indicating if current display is filtered. Also from this icon ‘reset filter’ can be applied directly.
* Added option in Schema Sync to compare all objects or compare only tables.
* Now the result tab displays the query as a ribbon at the bottom. This is useful where more queries are executed from the same editor tab.
* Refresh option included for show variables, show processlist and show status.
* Changed functionality for shortcut F3; now it pops up ‘Find’ dialog (before it was for keyboard shortcut dialog – F12 is used for this now).
* The sync script generated by Schema Sync could fail when a change in columns used for Foreign Key(s) or a change with the Foreign Key itself was attempted.
* The display of execution time etc. for queries (in MESSAGES tab, HISTORY tab and statur bar) was reorganised for better clarity.

Bug Fixes:
* The GRID would truncate the display of strings longer than 511 characters.
* When a user-defined DELIMITER and a comment occured close to another in the program editor, the editor tokenizer component could fail to identify exactly where a statement began and ended.
* Data Sync could fail with a table having no Primary Key, but more Unique Keys, if the same column was used for defining more than one of the Unique Keys of the table. This was introduced with the new Data Sync code of 7.0 (before 7.0 Unique Keys were not used by Data Sync at all – only Primary Keys were).
* Fixed an escaping bug in Data Sync.
* Fixed an issue with WHERE clause in Data Sync.
* Proxy authentication details were not written correctly to jobfile by SJA wizards.
* Since 7.0 the WHERE clause defined by user in migration wizard was not written to jobfile.
* In Wine Schema Sync could generate an erroneous sync script (specific functions on Wine functioned slightly different than the original Win32 API).
* Fixed a number of GUI related issues.

Bug fixes:
* On 64 bit Linux systems running MONyog 64 bit builds queries could be considered identical by Log Analyzer even if they were not.

Bug fix:
* Fixed some issues with JSON strings that could prevent objects in the MONyog browser interface to populate with data.  Most important ‘Monitors/Advisors’ page would fail to display if a username contained a doublequote character.

Features:
* CPU optimisations in both MONyog (server) process (in particular when ‘Monitors/Advisors’ page was being viewed) and browser processes (viewing Dashboard could cause high CPU usage in Firefox browser in particular).

Bug fix:
* Fixed a dependency with the SSH library that could cause failure to install in Win2K. This was an issue with the updated SSH library introduced with version 2.5.

Miscellaneous:
* The RPM installer scripts for Linux were updated in various ways. This solves issues on specific distributions including: 1) uninstall with the SuSE/YaST ’software management’ GUI was not possisble. 2) It was not always possible to install on top of a running MONyog service – sometimes it was necessary to stop service manually before upgrading. Also note: when updating from trial to single/multi server or from single server to multi server it is still necessary to uninstall the old version first. And when installing this version (applies only when using the RPM build) any older version will have to be removed with the “rpm -e ..” (rpm -e MONyog-trial/rpm -e MONyog-single/rpm -e MONyog-multi) command in advance (distribution-specific GUI tools may not work with versions before this one, so please use the RPM console command). We apologize for this but there is no other way.
