Download and installation
We downloaded the installer earlier on when fetching MySQL Administrator installer from www.mysql.com. This is again a click and run installation.
Q&A
What is Query Browser?
It is a GUI client to MySQL server. It helps you prepare and run query scripts.
I prefer MySQL Control Center.
By all means, install and use it. You should use a client which you are familiar with.
Can I use phpmysqladmin?
Yes, you can. Phpmysqladmin is web-based. You will need a web server in order to use that.
Should I edit a MySQL table directly?
You should not do in-table editing. Chances are you are accessing MySQL server from localhost as root or have granted permissions to another host. Neither of those is a good practice.
