MSSQL to MySQL Part II

We could able to finish our MSSQL to MySQL conversion project successful. During this
project we had to used many client tools because each tool having pros and cons. we used following client tools;

mysql-gui-tools-5.0
HeidiSQL
SQLyog
Toad for MySQL
Nevicat 8.0 Lite

Among those tools SQLyog Community edition the best tool even though Toad for MySQL provides many features.Toad for MySQL sometimes gives errors when running a query.Nevicat 8.0 Lite is simple and good.But it has not much features. HeidiSQL is also good but it doesn't show other database objects such as stored procedures,view. Only tables are displayed.

Mean time those were working on phase2 has commented existing phase 1 code without comments . Phase 1 and phase 2 merged with some conflicts. So we commented such places with the descriptive comment . After merged the result code base has merged those phase 2 commented parts. Also there was some of already dead code in phase 1. So it is difficult to understand weather this is actual dead code or commented one from phase 2. Mistake Had left dead dead code and missing comments . Lesson learned Normally developers leave dead code in their original code with the mind of future purpose. But this not a good habit to continue.As long as you use source control ,earlier code may exist. Problem will occur if you are not using such version control. In such a situation you can keep dead code with des...
