Reasons for suggesting phpMyAdmin are: - It's a very slick tool. - MySQL is often used as a database with Apache & PHP. Therefore is possible that Apache+PHP might already be installed. - I have Apache installed on my desktop PCs normally anyhow: it's a very easy way to transfer files between boxes. - It's a webapp, so the client (browser), server (apache+php) and database server (mysqld) can be three different computers. You might be able to use apache+php already installed some else. So perhaps my response should have been: "If you have Apache+PHP installed (or don't mind installing it) then check out phpMyAdmin. It's a great tool for administering MySQL databases." -- Tom -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
