I'm currently working on re-engineering a web stack completely to use mysql as a back end instead of (shiver) a bunch of Access files. I've used mysql for years both personally and professionally, but being a UNIX dork I've almost exclusively done so from the command line. Whenever I've needed something a little more user-friendly than that, I've installed a web tool like phpmyadmin.

However in this case, I'm working in an all-Windows shop (mostly server 2003) and I know that I'm going to be passing this on to someone in a couple years. As I document various tasks, I'd like to use a desktop client with a GUI interface for doing things like "browsing" the database, modifying stuff now and then, etc.

I see that mysql.com has a nice "administrator" and "query browser" available and they're pretty nice - but neither is really what I'm looking for in terms of something that has a GUI interface and actually manipulates the data itself. Unfortunately I cannot count on a successor knowing much SQL or being comfortable on the command line.

I'm guessing there are many free tools out there but would love to start out on whatever people who already love to use such things find the most mature, featureful, easy to use, etc. So, any suggestions? TIA!

EDIT - solved, thanks!
