Hi Jim & Mysql List members, sad to hear that there are still people around not using a propper OS ;-) - like a Linux, BSD or Unix based OS.
Anyway as you asked about the best GUI for accesing MySQL - and as you asked the question you know there is only one best GUI ;-). Anything mentioned below is my personal opinion and I am ot related to tany of the parties mentioned. Any welcome to fire back on me ;-) EMS's MySQL Mangaer is to heavy loaded and the interface is anything else then intuitive - so kick it into the bucket ;-) There are many such tools around to be honest, but my absolute favourite one has to be DbVisualizer (www.minq.se) with a loooooong distance second . That has very good reasons which I am willing to explain. a) First the Menu is intuitive AND context sensitive. b) its fast c) it works d) its java e) its professionally done f) contains a chart software (yfiles from www.yworks.com) g) support replies under 10 minutes !! REGULARLY h) its not a windows copy GUI ;-) i) two license model j) any major OS supported About a) I want to explain a bit more. When you choose data and go to the export menu it will offer you to export as html or csv. If you choose to export the diagramme it will offer as choice jpeg or gif. So the menu changes (in the background) and you dont have to think about it. It also takes the millions off not needed options out of the menu >> simpler. Of course there is more but I believe that I gave enough good reasons ;-) I have no clue why MySQL is partnering with EMS ;-), but I strongly believe that DbVisualizer is the best around. If anybody believes that another tool is better than I would be VERY interested to hear about it.
