Anyone able to recommend any?

I used to use mySQL front, but as you can see from http://www.mysqlfront.de/ it appears to have been removed!

Basically I just need something handy to connect to my databases (mysql) so I can test commands out, and just general admin type stuff. I've got phpMyAdmin or whatever it's called on the server, but I always find server/web ones rather slow and annoying to use.

A blog post I came across a while back. i haven't used any of these:

spanks I'll give navicat and sqlyog a try, otherwise i'll have to seek out a site still hosting mysql front. Wonder why they had to remove it?!

It's probably just because I've gotten used to mysql front, but I don't really get on with either of those programs - SQLyog was the closest, but still wasn't quite as logical or quick at doing simple things.

So I was trying to find a download for mysqlfront and accidentally came across HeidiSQL, and it looks very similar to mysqlfront! Giving it a go now and seems just what I wanted so far Bonus of being free too, which mysqlfront wasn't, so no more annoying "register this now" popups!

ahhh, found a copy! Heidi was qutie good...just wasn't mysqlfront!

I'm uploading it here incase i need it again

Started using this (http://www.aquafold.com/index-mysql.html) today at work. Far better than the other MySQL client tools I've used before.
