I think by now, most of us gals have figured that one out. Unless you are some traditional guy that expects dinner on the table when he gets home; which I don't think applies to you. :)

For instance MYSQL has the ability to set a collation (what I would
have called a character set) on each table. You can do that explicitly
in the command-line. But the designer of the GUI tool has to play
trade-off between vomiting all the possible options on the user and
hiding/showing them to the user based on some idea of the user's
experience level. So if you just click the button that says "Create
Table", unless there's some verbosity to the GUI, you may be setting
things that you may not want. I tend to start with the command line,
then play around with various GUI tools until I find one that
creates/manipulates the way I want it too, then just use the GUI.
