MySQL GUI tools update and Aqua Data studio
Anyone who has read (and paid attention) to my blog knows that I use MySQL. Personally I love the free database, so far I haven't met any project it couldn't handle. Where I think it has been let down is by its GUI tools. Though they have been there by either MySQL themselves or a 3rd party they always seem flaky, or never quite logical. This is especially true for MySQL recent re-incarnations of their GUI tools package.

I can second Aqua Data Studio...it's been a godsend the last few weeks while working with a nasty Oracle database designed by...well...no thinking human would have designed it. Let's leave it at that.
The features are outstanding, though performance was sometimes a little sluggish. I'm not complaining though. I'm a huge fan!

Hi Andy - there is also Toad and some here: http://www.succor.co.uk/index.cfm/2006/10/9/mySQL-...
@Rob, The performance on my machine (MBP with 2gb RAM) is fine, no complaints, and yes I think its Net Beans based
@Nick, cheers for the link. Toad is Windows only though (I thought any). SQLYog (What a weird name) I never got into, I always thought the interface wasn't intuitive enough. As for MySQL own tools, hopefully one day they will be stable and feel less like a pre version 1 release.

Andy, if you are using mySQL I also use CocoaMySQL from http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/ Its pretty neat as you can also do data entry into the tables (not just parse some SQL)
Cocoa and ADS are my tools of choice.

You're using the same as me Mark. I use CocoaMySQL for quick look-ups and DB changes :o)
I've been using <a href="http://http://www.navicat.com/"; title="Navicat">Navicat</a> at work and it's been really great, but now that I've seen some of the other posts I'm eager to check them out as well.
PS: I realize this post is quite old, so really I just wanted to thank you guys for the mysql gui leads =)
