Dear MySQL users,

The MySQL Windows Experience Team is proud to announce the release of MySQL Notifier version 1.1.7.

MySQL Notifier enables developers and DBAs to easily monitor, start and stop all their MySQL database instances. It provides a familiar Microsoft SQL Server look and feel and integrates with MySQL Workbench.

MySQL Notifier is installed using the MySQL Installer for Windows.

The MySQL Installer for Windows comes in 2 versions

• Full (150 MB) which includes a complete set of MySQL products with their binaries included in the download
• Web (1.5 MB – a network install) which will just pull the MySQL Notifier over the web and install it when run.

You can download the MySQL Installer for Windows from our official Downloads page at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/.
