I always find database & "data helper" tools fun to experiment with. After playing with this with a MySQL database for 10 minutes on my Mac I have 2 initial reactions:

1. The GUI is quite nice, and very simple. It is a glorified query tool that knows your tables and helps you make queries with visualizations and gives the results. It still allows for raw queries if you're into that and just want their GUI for queries.

2. The tool (or the Mac app, at least) still has plenty of bugs to iron out:

- I tried creating a "Dashboard" and it wouldn't actually create or close the modal window. Then I refreshed the application and it had created 10 of the same Dashboard.

- I tried deleting the database and the button just doesn't work.

- Many of the queries I ran on my own tiny sample db seemed to just not run. Closing & reopening the app didn't help.

I feel like the bugs could largely be to do with the OSX binary in specific, and not the actual platform. Quite interested to see how this develops, and am going to put a bigger database in to play later when I have more time.

Really strange. Out of curiosity what version of OS X are you on? If you don't mind filing an issue at https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/new or http://discourse.metabase.com/ we would love to get to the bottom of what's going on.

I'm running 10.9.5 and was planning on rebooting my machine, replicating once more, and filing an issue tonight :)
