I agree with you, Octavian. I don't use PHP MY Admin either. I learned the
Pick Operating System in the 80s, a command-line OS designed primarily for
databases in 1968, from which SQL came.
It isn't hard, and in my opinion much preferable, to learn to write queries,
rather than relying on an interface to do it.

Well, I don't agree that PHPMyAdmin is very accessible.
It is much easier to execute some SQL commands using the command line MySQL
client than using PHPMyAdmin or another GUI. At least for those who can't
see at all.
I think that those who need to use MySQL should first learn SQL, because
they probably need it in their programs, so it shouldn't be a problem for
them to use the mysql default client.
I have also just installed MySQL Admin but I don't find it accessible.
In the query browser which would be the most useful of the programs from
this package I couldn't access the field where I need to type the query, but
only the query area where the results should go.
Is there a hotkey for moving the cursor to that field?
In the MySQL Admin I've seen that it is very hard to reach to the field that
modifies a certain configuration variable, and there is not much useful to
modify it than in my.ini, because it just appear its value that should be
modified in an edit field.
And I've also seen that some labels for some variables are not accessible at
all, and only their values can be read, without knowing what means those
values.
Should we make some settings in order to make MySQL Admin more accessible?
I think that any database users, including MySQL users should learn SQL
first, and not start learning to use a program that allows them to learn SQL
as little as possible.
