The app is free of charge and looks like official replacement for Sequel Pro as the post was made by one of the collaborators of Sequel Pro. However, the good news is that it was replaced by Sequel Ace which is available on GitHub and App store. The fact this solution appears to still work in 2020 just confuses me even more. Sequel Pro is officially dead and no longer supports newer MySql features.

When you read the Wikipedia article on Mac OS Roman encoding it confuses you even more, because roman encoding is actually an old style of encoding used. I got lucky I got to Western (Mac OS Roman) before giving up on solving the issue. The CR LF (Carriage Return, Line Feed) is the (standard) ASCII way to tell a printer to start at the beginning of a new line. The database dump would not import and I got desperate, going down the list of different encoding formats until it worked. This fix actually came out of frustration. When importing your database dump, you need to select Western (Mac OS Roman) as the encoding format for the file to import without issue.Īs for why this fixes the issue, I wish I could give you a great story about deep-diving into the technical aspects of how character encoding works, but alas, I can’t. It seems MySQL databases exported from a Linux environment (in my case it’s Amazon Linux) and then imported into Sequel Pro on Mac results in a weird encoding mismatch. I have a project running on Docker and I'm able to connect to the database through the terminal: mysql -h localhost -P 33060 -protocoltcp -u 'notmyrealusername' -p This works fine and I'm able to. The database dump file I am pretty sure was UTF-8 and it seems autodetect failed to address the issue, then I got digging and worked out the problem. Failing to connect to Sequel Pro with '127.0.0.1', but can connect via terminal with 'localhost'.

I encountered an issue where the database dump would get half way through the importing process and then error out about the encoding being incorrect. You can go to the extensions options page. Just right click on a solution, a project, a folder or a source file in the Solution Explorer to find the Unify Line Endings option. The size of the database dump file was almost 400mb (it’s a big database). Line Endings Unifier is an extension which allows you to change line endings in a whole solution, a specific project, a chosen folder or a certain source file. sql file that I dumped via the command line on a remote server. Now that I use a Mac for work I use Sequel Pro for administering databases (at home I use Navicat, but can’t warrant the expense for work paying for a Mac licence).
