While all features of jHeidi have been tested, the testing has not been rigorous in comparison with the mature HeidiSQL. Although enough testing has been done to ensure that your database will not be damaged by a bug in jHeidi, if you are working on production databases you should be using HeidiSQL. This preview is meant for primarily for developers on development systems.
