General Information
===================

This is gmysql version 0.3.4.  gmysql is a graphical user interface to
the mysqld SQL database server. gmysql uses GTK+ for its widgets.

The gmysql web site is:

The GTK+ web site is:
  http://www.gtk.org/

The MySQL web site is:
  http://www.mysql.com/


Installation
============

'./configure; make' should work for most people - for more information, see
the file 'INSTALL'. If it won't build on your system, let me know why and I'll
play with the autoconf stuff, and get back to you.

Configure looks for the mysql libraries in various places, ditto the header
files.  If it doesn't find yours automatically, using the '--with-mysql=PFX'
option to configure, specifying the prefix you used to install mysql (e.g., if
the headers are in /opt/include/mysql/ and the libraries are in /opt/lib/mysql,
use '--with-mysql=/opt').

If for some reason your includes are not in a 'mysql' subdirectory under your
include directory, play with the --with-mysql-includes option; similarly, you
can use --with-mysql-libraries if your libraries are somewhere odd.


Notes
=====

This package is not currently being actively maintained. If you would like to
take over the maintenance of the package, let me know and I will update web
pages, etc., accordingly.

There's not a lot here at the moment, but what does work as of 0.3.0 is field
editing, which is probably the most useful thing so far; it allows you to
rename fields, change their type, properties, etc., and have the data in those
fields preserved as far as possible.

Things I know are missing:
	- shutdown, restart, reload, etc. of servers
	- user management
	- editing of table index definitions (you must remove and re-add at the mo')
	- viewing and manipulation of table data
	- GNOMEification (this still seems to be a bit of a moving target right
		now..)

The code is horrid.
