Interested in a free front end tool to use with MySQL – why not test Quest’s Toad for MySQL:
Quest Software’s Toad for MySQL leverages Quest Software’s database expertise to empower MySQL developers and administrators, of varying skill levels, to rapidly create and execute queries, automate database object management and develop SQL code more efficiently.
Toad for MySQL provides utilities to compare, extract and search for objects, manage projects, import/export data and administer the database, while increasing your productivity and delivering access to an active user community.
It is packed with features and benefits but unfortunately can only run on Windows work PCs only. I have been using it pretty heavily for the past month and it hasn’t let me down once!
Enjoy.
