If you want to get the most out of MySQL, then you really need to learn to use the command line tools. MySQL has the easiest to use tools and language of any database I've used. SQL allows you to do really powerful things easily.
Download the Windows version and install it. You can use the mysql client to connect to the remote server from your Windows box. Alternatively, and probably even easier, download an SSH client for Windows (do a Google search for putty) and SSH in to your Linux box. Then use the mysql client locally there. For long SQL queries like creating tables, I find it useful to type them up in Notepad and then paste them into the client. If you made a mistake, fix it in Notepad and paste it again. mysqldump is also a very handy tool for viewing a table's schema. > > What is the best or easiest client to set up on my NT4 workstation so I > > can connect to the MySql server > > and create tables, etc via scripts?
