I could never figure out how to use phpMyAdmin to actually let me ENTER data (if it does at all), not just build the structure.

Often I'll use CocoaMySQL to build the schema and stuff the database with data, then use my app after that. It uses an easy to use spreadsheet metaphor to enter data.

This way I have good data to start testing my app right away. Import/Export is a snap and it reads the first line of my data to get the fieldnames for import. On many web based projects that mainly need to display lists from a database (such as a tour schedule for CSN) I just enter the data directly from CocoaMySQL and don't have to create an entry or admin panel.

Much easier to use than a web-based app.

Just in case not. I wonder if you know of PhPMyAdmin (wrongly named as what it

And if you have a Mac, CocoaMySQL (client) is far better for managing a MySQL database than the server-based phpMyAdmin, in my opinion, and it's free.

Thanks both of you. I use PHPMyAdmin right now for some ongoing MySQL tests. I don't have any serious problem with it, although it could certainly be better. Stephen, I'll grab a copy of CocoaMySQL and see how that goes, thanks!
