Mysql

Whats the best (easiest) tool to create databases for MYSQL? I will install it on my windows 2003 server.

Thanks

You can use the MySQL GUI tools, which are free, or Navicat MySQL, which will set you back about $130 dollars, but is much more powerful. I have been using the trial version and so far I'm happy enough with it.

I would say phpmyadmin - it's free and easy to install.

I second this.

Thanks guys, I downloaded phpMyadmin and tried it. I dont like the look of it.

I am now using Navicat and it seems to be doing the trick. THanks

It is quite 'system' looking but fast and functional - I would urge you to give it a go - maybe try it alongside your Navicat evaluation and you might save yourself $130. If it's aesthetics you're after, you won't be looking at it that often - just to set up - you'll be looking at your own pretty pages!

Oh its really ugly but really useful.

it's a dog ugly thing but phpmyadmin gets my vote of confidence.
navicat was cool, but too powerful for what i needed - overkill.
