GUI for MySQL?

[quote author="Fenix" date="1218247641"]Thanks for the tips! Toadsoft looks promising. I hate to be "that guy" but I really would prefer a more attractive program than Squirrel SQL
[/quote]

As I already mentioned, TOAD is a serious commercial tool (visit the main page at http://www.quest.com/) probably one of the best for Oracle (well if you ever tried to work with Oracle admin tools you'd find SQuirreL very attractive )

Another option could be HeidiSQL http://www.heidisql.com/ but if you are going to switch to a MAC you'd rather consider CocoaMySQL

cheers

mysqlfront (discontinued) was really good.
SQLyog is about as good, which means it kicks ass.

mysql-administrator/mysql-query-browser are ok. They're the official admin tools released by Mysql AB, now hold by SUN Mycrosystems.
I use them on a daily basis, the graphical arrangement of the controls and grids is in my opinion the biggest minus. Apart from that it gives access to every MySQL feature.

I found a small bug in it:
when setting a column datatype to varchar, yo have to manually change 'VARCHAR' to 'VARCHAR(256)' or whatever length you wish.

I don't know to which platforms SQLyog is available, to be honest I ok with mysql admin tools.

As a matter of fact mysql front was reborn after been discontinued for a while... Take a look http://www.mysqlfront.de/.
I'm not sure about how it works... I just got used to use the console

Hi,

In regards to SQLyog, I also have it running with Wine on my Ubuntu laptop. Nice to have the same tool no matter what machine/operating system I'm on...

Cheers,

I use Navicat on OSX: http://www.navicat.com/

I also use Navicat on PC. Fantastic product

Interestingly, navicat on the mac is better than on the pc in quite a few ways. Which is odd. Navicat is also available for linux where the pc version comes with wine.

I had an old developer turn me onto a few years back. Its a little slow, but to be expected since I typically work remotely. But once you get the hang of it (i find it much different than PhpMyadmin), it is a pretty nice app though. Though, when I develop locally I just use PHPmyadmin.
