PLEASE NOTE: BIRT requires a pretty significant learning curve but you will not regret it. It's every bit as good as the report builder in MS Access. Check into it here: īIRT can connect to a variety of data sources and is intended as a Java application reporting tool, but it will also render/export reports in a lot of formats including PDF and DOC. I opted for the development kit version - an enormous 220 meg download, but worth it. īuilding reports as good as FileMaker's or MS Access was a difficult find for a long time until I ran across the free Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) built into versions of Eclipse. To design new MySQL databases like a pro, download and install the free MySQL Workbench. Alternatively, you can use a separate computer or virtual machine (on your local network) with MySQL installed. Installation is beyond the scope here but there's tons of help via Google search. On the Mac, you can install and run MySQL. There are some decent online services like Zoho Creator (free) and TrackVia (not free) but if you MUST have something very close to Access or FileMaker installed on your Mac natively, I can offer the following suggestion. I've not found a single app equivalent to MS Access for the Mac. Thank you for reading my blog.I feel your pain. Crashes often, unfortunately in the latest releasesĭownload Sequel Pro Thank you for reading, and let's connect!.The tool itself is one of the best UI's for MySQL I've personally seen. Sequel Pro used to be my favorite MySQL client for Mac, however, they seem to have a fair amount of crashes lately. I really like the tool however, it should have been a free tool. Very Mac like interface and clear to understand how it works and what it does. For me, however, it feels a bit too much. This tool is complete and has many cool features.
