I believe so, as you get different persectives from different interfaces. As far as easier to understand, I think that's relative to one's current understanding -- certainly different people prefer different tools. Many of the programs attempt to provide the same basic functionality, but certainly most have some key strengths -- a tool like urSQL, for example, isn't as strong at administration, as it's geared more toward SQL development, query testing, and ad hoc queries. > >Also, would different MySQL administration tools conflict with each > >other? No, I'm not aware of any conflicts between MySQL tools and it doesn't seem likely that there would be. > >If you created a new database with phpMyAdmin, would it be > >recognized by MSQL Control Center? Definitely. The database creation is handled at the MySQL server and is independent of the tool. > >Could you work on MySQL with both programs on at the same time? This should also be possible. However, you might want to be careful with updates and deletes as one program could easily overwrite a previous update or incorrectly identify a row (e.g. when a value of a where clause changes). -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
