Summary
I've just spent a ridiculously long time looking for an sql gui editor that was free and had the features i was looking for - Basically quite as MS Access. I'm surprised this piece of very well thought of s/w is free. Its well planned, full of features tons of other gui editors which are not free. BIG THANKS to Quest - literally, simplicity at work.

"A powerful database admin/development tool - for FREE!"
Version: Toad for MySQL 4.1.0.220
Pros
An excellent, feature rich tool for developing and maintaining MySQL databases from a company that have been doing this for a while. Familiar environment for users used to TOAD for Oracle or other Quest products. And it is totally free.
Cons
Not as easy to get started with for newbies compared to Navicat for instance, but persavere and the wealth of features will reward you later.
Summary
Quest have a long track record of developing tools for DBAs and database developers - anyone who works with Oracle will probably be familiar with TOAD (it originally stood for Tool for Oracle Application Developers) which has been around for as long as I can remember (I've been using it for 15 years or so!)
Whilst TOAD for MySQL does not have quite the same level of functionality - t's a bit unfair to campare since the target databases are so different and the MySQL version is free (the Oracle version retails at $800 to $2700 depending on whichedition you use!) - it does provide everything you are likely to need on a day-to-day basis, for instance:
- Extremely customisable interface (organise it the way you work)
- Database explorer (brows objects in a tree view)
- Drop/create databases, tables, views, indexes etc
- SQL editor with gui SQL generator
- Procedure/function editor with code formatting ("prettyfier")
- Data Import/Export wizards
- Monitor and kill sessions
- ER diagrammer (reverse engineer a data model from your tables)
- Master-Detail browser (view a parent record in a master table with all linked child records in a detail table - e.g. invoice header + invoice items)
Being a desktop application it is much easier to use than the web based phpMySQLAdmin (I use both - ) and provides many more features for free than commercial desktop applications like Navicat ($80 for a non-commercial licence on Win/Mac).
In short this a commercial strength application, developed by a respected company with a good pedigree, FOR FREE !!!! -
