For anyone out there that uses phpmyadmin to carry out databases then I strongly suggest you take a look at: MySQL GUI Tools. MySQL Monitor and Manager

This is a GUI based program that allows you to maintain your databases within a program rather than a browser, this means it's a lot more reliable and maybe even more secure.

I've been using it for around 4 years now and it's a must have on any pc I use. It has many great features that make all the tasks simpler, proper sql formating is a large plus so code is much simpler to read.



Another plus is you can back your databases up to files and watch the progress, when doing this within a browser it can sometimes take hours and half the time an error occurs and you loose the whole backup.
