Caveats

If you are using this program on a frequent basis, you may get tired of entering your username, password, and/or MySQL^TM hostname, they can be specified in the program as defaults. If you place your MySQL^TM password in this program, be mindful of the security risk that implies. A reasonable solution is to remove any group or others permissions this file might have (man chmod for details).
