Known Bugs

Are there any errors known to exist in MySQL-Front?

Unfortunately, yes:  
·Date values are supported up from the 02/Jan/0001 only.  
·Unsigned Bigint values are supported up to 63 bit only (values > 9223372036854775807 are not supported).  
·SET NAMES CharacterSet; statements inside the SQL Editor will not be used to handle the encoding between the MySQL-Front and the MySQL database.  
·2147483647 records per table are supported only.  

Inside the MySQL database / tools there are some bugs which are not implemented in MySQL-Front:  
·MySQL-Front does not support this invalid values (f. e. '00' as month or day, '2000-02-31').  
·The MySQL client (mysql.exe) is not able to handle CREATE PROCEDURE / CREATE FUNCTION / CREATE TRIGGER / CREATE EVENT queries with a the delimiter ";" inside the body. Because of this the MySQL client needs to use the work-a-round with a DELIMITER statement. This DELIMITER statement is a statement for the MySQL client only - it's not a valid SQL statement. MySQL-Front does not have this problem and it does not implement this work-a-round with the DELIMTER statement.  
·The MySQL client (mysql.exe) uses the pseudo statement SET NAMES to configure the character set communication between itself and the database. Since MySQL-Front is able to configure this setting like a standard application handle settings this pseudo statement is not implemented completely to speedup the program.  

Some wrong handlings seems to be program bugs - but they are problems of handling only:  
·Error while importing SQL files: Please check the content of the SQL file. Maybe this SQL file is not written for the MySQL database or not for the used MySQL database version.  
·All changes sent to the database by using the SQL Editor will not be overtaken automaticly inside MySQL-Front. The Refresh All feature has to be called to update MySQL-Front.  

Should you detect any further errors or problems, please inform the developer via the forum - he will try to correct the problem as soon as possible.
