# gamma
**gamma** is a Python-based interface for working with MySQL — designed with students in mind. Think of it like a modern, no-nonsense alternative to WampServer, minus the bloat and compatibility nightmares.
**Live Website**: [gamma.almightynan.cc](https://gamma.almightynan.cc)
## 🔍 What is gamma?
gamma offers a lightweight interface to:
- Connect to MySQL databases
- Run SQL commands via CLI
- Visualize tables and schema
- Use AI to generate SQL queries, tables, and more
It’s built to be simple, fast, and student-friendly — no more dealing with missing Visual C++ redistributables or cryptic WAMP issues on school PCs.
> This started as a quick tool for my classmates and myself when we kept running into issues with WAMP. Now it's open source.
## 🎯 Why Gamma?
- ✅ Minimal setup
- ✅ Built with Python (easy to extend)
- ✅ AI-assisted features for learning and productivity (default username is `nan`; password is `0001`)
- ✅ Compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS
- ✅ Developed by students, for students
## 🚀 Features
- **CLI-based SQL interaction**
Run MySQL queries directly from the app’s built-in terminal.
- **Table visualization**
Easily browse and inspect your database structure and contents.
- **AI-powered tools**
Generate SQL queries, table schemas, and more using AI prompts.
- **Error-resistant design**
No more “missing DLL” issues — Gamma avoids common setup failures by not relying on bloated dependencies.
## 🛠️ Future Plans?
- Maybe adding **PHP** and **Apache** support — think WampServer, but actually good.
- Expanding the AI capabilities (explain queries, optimize performance, etc.)
- More GUI improvements and export/import features.
## 👥 Who’s it for?
- Students
- Beginners working with MySQL
