Hi,

Can anybody tell me if there's a GUI available for MySQL server, version 6.0.6, and if so, which one/s they'd recommend. I've been working with the command-line to date, but would also like a nice graphical way of viewing my work!

Thanks,

- Alex

The classic way is with phpMyAdmin. I have used that - but prefer to use the command line because in complicated things like databases there are limits to what can be shown on a general purpose GUI.

I tend to use SQLSquirrel, Eclipse or VisualStudio, loads of them about.

 

Thanks for that Harry. I have used phpMyAdmin before in the past, but always thought that it was a web based application? Is there a stand-alone version also?

 

Cool. I'll look into each of them. Like the name SQLSquirrel!

 

Have you looked at

http://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html

PHPmyadmin is quite easy to use and once you are a bit more confident you will love the command line

 

I am using SQLsquirrel for access to Oracle at the moment.

It seems OK - but because I was brought up on command line apps I feel that it isn't quite right!

Harry.

 

Oracle people tend to prefer TOAD or SQLDeveloper or as mentioned the command line.
