MySQL Workbench

I just downloaded MySQL workbench 1.06 beta. I stumbled across it after finding this message on the DBDesigner forum page:

Dear DBDesigner4 users,

Due to several attacks against the DBDesigner4 forum it has now been closed down.
We simply cannot understand the sick motivation of people to attack Open Source projects.
So please understand that we will not provide any support from now on.

We will continue to host the DBD4 download till the release of the MySQL Workbench,
its successor application that will be an official MySQL product. Then this project will rest in peace.

Immediate impression is that it’s DB Designer with a MySQL badge on it, but I guess that’s a good thing as DB Designer was excellent (albiet a bit buggy). A nice touch is the ‘overview’ button (or press shift) which allow one to zoom out and see the entire schema.

I’ve got a new database to design so I’ll use this tool and possibly post my thoughts later.

[EDIT]
It’s got a pretty serious bug (that has been reported) where deleting a relationship just doesn’t work.

Enabling spell checking within FCKeditor

Posted on by

CMS Made Simple uses the great GPL WYSIWYG editor FCKeditor and I noticed this morning that it has a spell checking facility.

To get it to work, I:

Installed aspell on my dev server:

[code]apt-get install aspell
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
aspell-bin aspell-en dictionaries-common libaspell15
Suggested packages:
aspell-doc spellutils ispell emacsen-common jed-extra
The following NEW packages will be installed:
aspell aspell-bin aspell-en dictionaries-common libaspell15
[/code]0 upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Edited fckconfig.js:

[js]FCKConfig.SpellChecker = ‘SpellerPages’ ;[/js]

Edited editor/dialog/fck_spellerpages/server-scripts/spellchecker.php so that the path is to a unix binary rather than a windows one:

[php]$aspell_prog = ‘aspell’; // by FredCK (for Linux)
//$aspell_prog = ‘”C:Program FilesAspellbinaspell.exe”‘; // by FredCK (for Windows)[/php]

Now when I press the ABC (with a tick) icon I got a pop-up with my copy and the first unrecognised word highlighted, I’ve then the option to change, chose from replacements or ignore, much the same as any other spell check software.

Easy!
