                        Navicat 
                            for MySQL 
                             
                             This 
                            powerful, multi-featured tool meets the needs of database 
                            administrators and developers in small and medium 
                            businesses while sharply reducing administrative costs. 
                            The intuitive graphical user interface speeds up a 
                            wide range of information handling. The product takes 
                            MySQL administration to the next level by supporting 
                            most of the latest MySQL features. 
                             
                            Since its launch in 2000, this product has acquired 
                            more than 50,000 users in over 130 countries. This 
                            growth and reach has been facilitated by continuous 
                            software improvement. Up to October 2008, Navicat 
                            had been downloaded more than two million times from 
                            the Internet and is available in seven languages at 
                            a current cost of US$169 for the enterprise edition. 
                            Its excellent market performance can be judged from 
                            the number of top tier customers it has attracted 
                            in most major sectors. 
                             
                            Navicat allows data and table/file structure to be 
                            synchronized among multiple MySQL databases and it 
                            supports the widest range of import/ export data formats 
                            in the market. It makes short work of complex queries 
                            and reports as well as scheduled back-ups and many 
                            different types of batch jobs.  
                             
                             It 
                            offers many notable innovations and is the first software 
                            to bring MS Access-like working experience to MySQL 
                            users as well as offering extremely rapid and cost 
                            effective performance. Data entry otherwise likely 
                            to take hours can be completed within a minute or 
                            so by Navicat's Import Wizard. 
                             
                            Aside from bringing clear bottom line benefits to 
                            enterprise after enterprise, Navicat is a remarkably 
                            worker friendly product that banishes the long drawn 
                            out tedium of database operations with a few mouse
