There is also an Open Source solution which I just thought of soon after posting my previous message. You can try HeidiSQL which seems to offer the same functionality as MYSQL Administrator. However, to be honest, I did not test its latest version so I cannot attest as to how much accessible it can be. All what I know of is that it makes life easier for someone to use a MySql database without typing long SQL commands. You can visit the developer's page here: http://www.heidisql.com/ and read more about this client. I was attracted to its ability to convert different formats to be compatible with MySQL formats. Try it together with any other client anybody tell you of. Sorry for double posting. I only thought of Heidisql after hitting the send button so never mind. Cheers!
