Challenges faced

Serhii Galushko, a Computer Science teacher at Lyceum №44, was looking for the best ways to manage the lyceum's website database and help his students develop MySQL database development skills. Although he initially tried MySQL Workbench and HeidiSQL IDEs, he continued searching for an alternative that offered more robust features and easier onboarding for his classes. The challenges that affected his projects the most and hindered his work before were related to a lack of efficiency, complex onboarding for beginners, and the overall complexity of the solutions that were previously chosen.

01
Limited options for comparing and syncing databases via Shell for MySQL Utilities in tools other than dbForge Studio, leading to slower production deployments.
02
Complex database management IDEs with limited educational resources created a steep learning curve, making it challenging for students to perform database development tasks.
03
Both beginners and professionals need SQL code autocompletion to speed up database development, yet many IDEs lack this feature by default.
"The tool is nearly perfect, powerful yet simple. It is fit for easy design and debugging of database queries, which makes it an excellent option for teaching students."

Results achieved

80%
increase in productivity

When facing tight deadlines, it's crucial to have a reliable tool that automates tasks like database and schema comparison, simplifies SQL query writing, and supports visual query building. dbForge Studio for MySQL, a comprehensive IDE that lets one work with MySQL and MariaDB DBMSs, was a choice that helped address all these matters at once and led to a significant boost in productivity. As a result, it was possible to accelerate tasks that previously took too long or were prone to errors due to manual input.

Improved accessibility for students

Learning best practices for writing and optimizing queries for top database performance is a key component of the Computer Science curriculum. It is essential for students who study database development. dbForge Studio for MySQL facilitates effective learning in class, providing better accessibility for students on their way to mastering database development.

Fast implementation due to ease of use

Implementing dbForge Studio for MySQL was quick and efficient, allowing seamless integration into both the practical components of the educational program and other database management projects, like the lyceum’s website database maintenance.

Key features Serhii Galushko is excited about

Visual Query Builder

Since the students from the Computer Science class only started learning SQL coding, dbForge Studio for MySQL greatly facilitated the education process, as this IDE comes with Visual Query Builder, which lets them design queries of any complexity using intuitive diagrams without writing a single line of code. Thus, students can effortlessly work with various query types and subqueries, visually edit JOINs and WHERE conditions, and generate execution plans directly from query documents. Plus, they can easily export their query results to files.

SQL Code Completion

With the SQL Code Completion feature, students get intelligent object suggestions for faster query writing and see the possible mistakes instantly with a smart MySQL syntax checker. They can use predefined and custom code snippets, as well as rich formatting options, which also speed up the learning process. The tool also supports smart refactoring, automatically updating references to renamed objects, and provides effective debugging for T-SQL scripts, stored procedures, functions, and triggers, which makes database development more efficient and error-free.

Query Profiler

The Query Profiler in dbForge Studio for MySQL is another irreplaceable go-to tool for examining and optimizing SQL query performance. With it, it’s possible to identify performance bottlenecks, analyze the EXPLAIN plan, and review detailed profiling results. This feature lets its users visually compare profiling differences, and quickly diagnose performance issues, ensuring that all the queries in the database run at their top efficiency.
