If you use MySQL you probably use phpmyadmin as the interface and management software.
I have to say I love PMA, it makes using SQL do-able even for a newbie like me ;)

phpMyAdmin is one of the best tools made for MySQL imo. I use it often.

I am also a fan! It comes bundled with the majority of hosting packages and is always in there somewhere so I'm guessing it has a pretty large userbase!

Pretty complicated interface, but once you get used to it you have to love the tools - it can more or less do anything... I haven't used it to its full potential yet though!

Yeah it came in handy for me the other night. One of my biggest sites had a huge database crash and a bunch of my tables got corrupt. The site was a mess for an extended period of time, but without MyPHPAdmin it would have taken even longer.

The only drawback is if you are on a shared hosting, and you get a rogue process that uses up all your database connections you have no way of directly accessing the database even with myphpadmin, as it uses the same hooks to connect.
