Ah... a terminology problem.. I'll just point out that the section in the wiki that has all of these pgms in it is called "Management Tools". > .. They're handy.

As I mentioned in another msg on this thread, we use phpMyAdmin for our MySQL databases at work and I can't remember the last time anyone at work needed (or wanted) to use the command line tool.

Only difference between us here is that I have virtually no use for the command line tool: if I need to automate, I'll just write a little Perl/DBI pgm to do it (I have dozens of 'em..:o)) and I use the "visual tool" for everything else. I'd rather write a small Perl program that try to cobble up a script to be read into the command line app. As above, YMMV... > So you're looking for a graphical tool to allow you to manually view and > modify information in a SQLite3 database? Yes, and I'm now the happy user of sqliteman, so my search is over..:o). It's "query manager" does *exactly* what I needed and works wonderfully. (and indeed, easily found the index conflict I was trying to sort out easily.) /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
