phpMyAdmin is a nice, web based tool for administration Cameron. But no nice color 
highlighted sql tool, just text in a box. But for basic, navigation, table mods etc, 
its clean and simple. The cc is also not bad and there is a decent set of additional 
links at mysql.com for 3rd part tools.

Enjoy...

Subject: (clug-talk) Suggestions - Database Tools

Hi All,

As some of you may recall I was in a quandry about what database to use. 
   After much consideration and research I think I have decided to use 
MySQL.  Since I am likely using OOo, NetJuke, and a few other 
cross-compatible software packages, and it seems that they support MySQL 
databases, so I should likely go that way.  I am still looking at 
PostGre as it seems to be more Oracle like, but I can't see that OOo 
supports Postgre as a data source.

I am just wondering if anyone could confirm that my hypothesis is true. 
  Also, I am looking for some MySQL administration tools, specifically 
right now for creating tables, forms, etc., but also additional tools 
that others might suggest.  I am currently cutting my teeth on MySQL in 
a windows environment as I am more familiar with it, but am hoping to 
migrate my knowledge over.  I have downloaded and installed the MySQL 
Control Center from the website to manage my servers, but it has been 
awhile since I have been dealing with databases so I am not sure where 
to look.

Brain is melting... it is late!

Cameron
