If you're one of the users having updated HeidiSQL this morning to revision 5002, then you will surely see a crash when starting heidisql.exe . This is due to an accidental commit of a file with unfinished changes from me. Sorry for that. I have just reverted that in revision 5003.

As the program crashes at the very start, you won't be able to update HeidiSQL automatically. As a solution, you can use the installer from that fixed build for updating:
32/64bit: http://www.heidisql.com/installers/HeidiSQL_9.3.0.5003_Setup.exe
32bit only: http://www.heidisql.com/installers/HeidiSQL_9.3.0.5003-32_Setup.exe

See this forum thread for details.

Each of these connection methods has its own set of pros and cons: speed, security, portability, and ease-of-use.…

JavaScript is really ubiquitous – it really is showing up everywhere! There are many other reasons why JavaScript and JS-based tools are becoming the wave of the future. JavaScript is the #1 most-used language on GitHub, and this trend is only going to increase. As one article put it, “JavaScript is the number one …
