I think quite horrible is an exaggeration, especially compared to using a web interface (phpMyAdmin) which is the other common, free "GUI" used for MySQL. The "Health" pages of the Administrator are a pretty great way to summarize information in one place and the Query Browser provides a good way to work on scripts in a GUI text editor (as opposed to writing long queries at the command line and trying to save them to file, etc). Of course if you've got $100 (Navicat) to $400 (EMS Pro) a tool always helps. Me, I'd enjoy using the Embarcadero Suite, or at least Toad for MySQL but command line and the MySQL GUI tools to an fine job for the price. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
