Connection settings in a database

It would be so nice, if the connection data could be stored in a database instead, so that my 3 machines could be in sync with the connections....

and i bet alot of other users could use this too :)

no replies to this one :(

Well that's the way it is currently, and your post did not contain a question.

However, you could download the portable version and sync the portable_settings.txt file with your other machines.

yes but that would make me have to setup a shedule on two/more machines to do this automatic to sync several machines to same connections. And if then changed on both machines at once, then it gives conflicts and so. Thats why a sql save function would be better.

That will also make that if you work with more teams, you can have a db for each team and connects shared with them, if multible "groups" could be added with connections and each group could have its own connection save point...

Honestly, that's nothing I would implement in HeidiSQL. Security is also an issue here, as the session settings contain credentials, which you then would share through a database. I would not like to be responsible for such issues, as the developer of it.

But you could set up such a workflow yourself, with some external tools, it should be possible to have the settings in a database. E.g. instead of starting heidisql.exe, you could write a heidisql.cmd batch file, wich exports settings from your database using mysqldump, and then start heidisql.exe.

If security of the sql is an issue, then you proberly have a bigger problem as there generaly would be a bigger chance that your workstation will be hacked than your sql.

Problem with the suggested sollutions is merge bug and only getting stuff updated on close, not live, so if i change something on one computer, the other doesn't see it.
