I'm working on a mysql database for the first time - thanks to the
help of some people on this list - and I've got a question about
management front end software. I'm working on OS X, and the database
is locally installed.

I installed sequel pro, (formerly cocao mysql) and haven't been able
to access the database because of permissions problems. The database
is there - when I run SHOW DATABASES; at the mysql promp I can see it,
but when I try to access with my user name and password (I have admin
privileges) it says I'm not authorized. I also tried with root and my
password, and it didn't work either. This is a known problem, but I
have't found a solution:
http://code.google.com/p/sequel-pro/wiki/FAQ
I understand that there is a root user on os x, but I've never used
it. Could anyone give me any pointers?

I would also like to install phpminadmin and phpmyadmin. The first one
is much simpler to install and use - one php file - but I'm not sure
where to install either one of them. The documentation says to install
it on the server at the root level, but my database is local - should
I install it to /usr/local/? /usr/local/mysql-xxxx?

Thanks for your help.
