Heidisql: Move background color setting to session manager

Created on 1 Oct 2018  路  5Comments  路  Source: HeidiSQL/HeidiSQL

Use case

When working with multiple databases across different servers and environments it's easy to make mistakes, so i would like to have an option to show warnings when working with a production server and also highlighting in some way that I am currently connected to a production server. Some similar feature is present in almost all of the standalone tools which manage mysql databases.

Possible solutions

  1. An option in the session manager to mark it as production server.
  2. An option to enable/disable warning message when executing modifications that permanently alter
    the data on the current production server
  3. A color to highlight production servers
enhancement

Yes, this is definitely reasonable.

Isn't this already there?
Set server background color

I use green for sandbox and development servers and red for production.
Also I recommend creating a second user for yourself on the production server which cannot drop or delete. That you can mark with yellow.

@penCsharpener Thanks for the tip, i was looking for something like this. I would include this option inside the Session Manager > Settings also.

Yes, this is definitely reasonable.

I just moved the color setting to the Advanced tab:

That background color selector now additionally shows all colors you defined for any of your sessions:
