All depends on what you want to do. mysqldump is my friend - I use it quite often,
especially when I want to change the structure of a table, and I can't remember the
ALTER TABLE syntax (or don't have access to a browser). I use mysqldump to dump the
data with --add-drop-table, run it, edit the output file to alter the table structure,
then feed it back to mysql. Works great.
If I want to do CRUD on a few records or two, I'll use Escapade - it's faster than the
PHP admin thingie for editing data.

I sometimes wonder if the American people deserve to be free - they seem
so unwilling to fight to preserve the few freedoms they have left.
