MySQL Management in RIA Framework Flex

Learn how to use RIA Framework Flex to create a MySQL management UI

The emergence of PHPMyAdmin shocked the industry, and there is no doubt. It is of course the best PHP-based application, because it changes the MySQL management interface from the command line form to the web browser form. However, although its functions are very powerful, it is not very convenient to use and the interface is not beautiful enough. Therefore, I tried to design a better MySQL foreground management program through the Rich Internet Application framework.

Ajax can be used to achieve this goal. But I don't want to handle client incompatibility issues. Of course, Silverlight is also a good choice, but it is still immature. Adobe Flex is selected because it has rich user interface toolkit and convenient web service integration functions, and its Flash application can run in any operating system in the same way.

I learned a lot about creating applications: How to Create secure SQL web Services for PHP programs; how to access web services through Flex; how to input and display the data returned by the web service in a data grid. In this article, I will guide readers to gradually create MySQL management programs from the front-end to the backend. Readers can learn some useful information to create their own Rich Internet applications.
