 Site Update

Thank you everyone who read, contributed, and subscribed on Server-Side Magazine.
As you discovered, SSM is struggling a little bit, but I still have plans with it.

I’m considering to re-brand the website, creating a new theme and writing more interesting articles.

So stay tuned!

 SQL Query Tester v0.1

SSM presents another great tool called SQL Query Tester.

It is created for web developers who are working / testing SQL queries a lot. The nice thing about this tool is that it gets the query results via AJAX, so you don’t have to refresh the page, it has a SQL syntax highlighter and a basic profiling tool.

It is written in PHP and jQuery, using ADOdb as a database abstraction layer and CodePress for the SQL editor.

It’s completely open source, you can find it at: code.google.com/p/sql-query-tester

If you want to contribute or suggest features don’t hesitate to comment here or on the project’s groups page.
