Introduction to database operation methods in navicat

This article brings you an introduction to the database operation method in navicat. It has certain reference value. Friends in need can refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to you.

navicat I think anyone who makes programs will basically use it. It is convenient, fast, intuitive, etc., and has many advantages. This is why I wrote this article. In the past, I basically used phpmyadmin, which was pretty easy to use. However, it also had many shortcomings. For example, the database backup file was too large and could not be imported at all. To manage multiple database servers, I had to configure phpmyadmin, which was actually quite unpleasant. Navicat is actually not very convenient for people who are just using it, but it will be different once you get used to it. Here's how to combine shortcut keys to make using Navicat more comfortable.

Method 2: Press f6 and a command window will pop up. The operation is the same as when entering it as mysql -u mysql -p, but an error will be reported when \G is used. You can also check here.
