Creating MySQL database





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.
