   @skapig, Good catch. I saw that the Issue with auto-formating has been fixed in the latest build. http://www.webyog.com/bl...eta-1-has-been-released/

   Reviewing 8.02 RC (Feb 20, 2009)

   Features:
   * Both SQLyog and SJA will now detect if Base64 encoding is required for HTTP-tunnel.
   
   Funtionality changed:
   * CHUNK setting (for exports) now also has effect for non-HTTP-tunneled connections. Using this option is required if it takes more time to retrieve data from a table than server ‘net_write_timeout’ setting.
   * SQLyog will now not reconnect if connection is lost during imports. Instead an error message will prompt (the reason for this is that session variables defined on top of the script would be reset to server defaults with reconnection. As a result (and most important) special characters could garble and other errors could occur as well)..
   * When trying to INSERT or UPDATE spatial data types from the DATA/RESULT tab SQLyog will now throw an error. Spatial data must be handled from the editor (but a result set from a table with spatial columns can be updated from RESULT tab if there are no spatial columns in the result).
   
   Pretty nice software (even if the free version has nags). However, my major gripe which continues to be ignored is that the text in the query editor does not match what is saved to the file system when auto-formatting is in use (example: caps). This is appallingly bad design and extremely obnoxious.

   frodo888, dude, once again it comes down to diminishing returns. Yes the full version of SQLyog has more features, but for common day to day tasks no one should have to spend money to manage an open source database.
   
   The freeware/nagware version of this program just sucks and is actually inferior to Heidi.

   Heidi SQL is a low feature database package. You can't compare both products. If you compare it, Heidi SQL will lose...
