Introduction to Navicat for MySQL

Navicat is one more client-side tool that can be used for developing and administrating MySQL or MariaDB databases.

Features of Navicat for MySQL

Let us discuss the features of Navicat.

1. Tool for migration of data

The data migration becomes easy and fast due to less overhead, Synchronization, data transfer, and structure synchronization. Detailed guidelines and instructions are provided for each step involved in migrating data across multiple databases. You can obtain reports that compare the data and identify deployable changes. Additionally, a script can be generated to list all the desired modifications you intend to execute.

2. Tool for diversified Manipulation of the database

We can use the import wizard to import the data into the database that can be present in various formats. You can import data from the ODBC by setting up the data source connection. We can export the data stored in the tables or generated from the queries in various formats, including Access, CSV, Excel, etc. Further, the data can be manipulated, updated, deleted, and added graphically using the grid view provided in Navicat. Many other editing tools can be used to modify the data. Navicat helps you ensure your data is managed and processed efficiently.

3. Easy SQL Query building

We can use a visual SQL builder to create and run the SQL query statements, which ensures the correctness of syntax and eliminates the need to worry about syntax and command usage. The autosuggestion mode for keywords helps to code and build the queries faster, add the customizable snippets of code, and skip and remove the repetitive steps while coding.

4. Intelligent Designer for the database

The object designers in the tool help you manage, develop, and modify the database objects. We offer designing and modeling tools that facilitate the conversion of existing databases into graphical representations. These tools enable you to understand and model complex databases more easily, enhancing your ability to work with them effectively.

5. Dashboard and tools for data visualization

The visualization tools in the application enable you to create visual representations of your dataset. These tools assist in performing analysis tasks more easily and provide valuable insights into your data. We can make conclusions about the relations and patterns in our data and create the corresponding visuals to form the dashboard that can be shared with others. This can prove helpful when multiple developers are working on the project, and all of them need to know the database insights of the project they are building.

6. Productivity enhancement

There might be errors in the application and database, which can cause failures at times. Navicat enables us to store local backups and restore them as needed. Additionally, we can schedule and execute scripts and events to automate tasks, such as deployments, allowing work to be done at specific times, even in our absence.

7. Collaborate with your team

In real-time development situations, sharing and synchronizing your content, such as queries, models, or settings among multiple individuals, is often necessary. Navicat can accomplish this task, allowing you to share database-related information with your co-workers anytime, anywhere, and boost productivity.

8. Security Features

Navicat provides advanced secure connections established with SSH protocol that leads to a reliable, stable, and secure connection. Besides that, other security features include authentication methods like PAM that help secure your database servers. Insecure connections are no more threats when using the Navicat tool for database management.

9. Cross-platform support

Navicat application is available for multiple operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and Mac OS. It is not free of cost and comes with different packages you need to purchase. However, a 14-day free trial is provided for the Navicat application tool. We can even change the platform we use, Navicat, after purchasing by transferring the license.

10. Themes

Navicat comes with a dark mode feature that changes the theme in which the application looks. However, the behavior and the functionalities remain intact. This theme is useful to protect your eyes from a high-brightness screen.
