Hi,
I can't see at all, and I use phpMyAdmin with Jaws V7 and upwards, and
apart from the database selection box with its annoying OnChange event,
I find it perfectly accessible. I'm happy writing SQL, but I like the
phpMyAdmin gui. Horses for courses.
Cheers, Lynn

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.
