Does anyone know any good database management tools for mySQL?

I want to migrate a database to mySQL, but quite frankly, the mySQL interface is total garbage at best. Enterprise Manager for SQL Server kicks some serious butt, and I don't want to lose that functionality.

I've checked out SQLyog and it seems ok, but I'm sure there are people out there who use mySQL and can recommend something better.

Please?

I think thats why SS isn't free!

Have you checked the numerous clients that they list on their site? www.mysql.com? I'm pretty sure there are heaps out there.  What did google give ya?

Cheers,
Andrew

I'm using MySQL Front, www.mysqlfront.de which is pretty good. You can not compare MySQL to SS. One is open source - and a pretty good one - free, the other is a software from a huge corporation loaded with features that I'm sure no one will ever use them all . But is damn good, but stiil one step behind ORACLE. And of course, costs a lot of bucks.

PS If you migrate from Access or SQL Server, beware that there are minor adjustments that you might need to make to your code.

The real reason I ask is exactly because there are LOTS of things out there, and I really don't want to download, install, and test 20 different front ends for mySQL. I'd rather ask around to get some experienced feedback.

I've already tried out 5. I'm hoping for some good suggesstions...

True and not true about comparing mySQL and SQL Server. Some of the open source free stuff is beyond reproach. Although mySQL isn't a true RDBMS, it is great stuff... however... like so much of the open source stuff that comes out of the *nix community, it's about as user friendly as a pack of rabid wolves hyped on meth. I guess that's why I really don't pay as much attention to the open source stuff as I probably should.

I checked out My SQL Front, but it's gone.

MySQL-Front

Sorry, development on MySQL-Front has been discontinued.

Drat. Oh well. But there is still a link to download the latest version. I'll give it a spin.

Download.com led me to EMS MySQL Manager 2 Professional Edition, which looks like it will do the trick. Actually, it looks really good.

Google led me nowhere because the ISP we use at the office is lower than horse dung. Always connected, but only a 50% chance of a domain name resolving. [ Getting a new one soon I hope... ]

I'm still looking though as I'd prefer to find a free one [[[ bracing for non-user friendly stuff ]]]... (Perhaps the one you suggested will do the trick.

As for Oracle, I almost fail to see why anyone would ever need that. Want it - yes. Need it - no. It's a demonic hell spawn monster capable of doing a lot more than leaping Terabytes in a single bound. If god were a database, his name would be Larry.

Sorry, actualy I knew that, but I did't bother to check the new download link! MySQL front has a nice GUI and it's very easy to use. It was recommended warmly to me and I never tryed something else.

MySQL it's a good alternative to MS SQL: it is free and great for web use, it supports unlimited simultaneous conections and unlimited records. It lacks some of the features of MS SQL like stored procs - which it seems that there will be in the next version.

Dunno if you are still looking for a nice gui for MySQL. But there is actually one on the MYSQL website. called MYSQLCC which is pretty nice

I've checked out a number of things, and the MYSQLCC interface seems ok... the only problem now is dealing with mySQL and telling it what to do...

It seems to be a bit more stubborn than MS SQL Server. Either that or I'm missing something... kind of like when I change passwords and things, I actually mean it... Well... I'll figure it out eventually....
