Notes:

CAUTION: Editing the MySQL database directly is potentially dangerous. The changes recommended above are irreversible. A front end interface allows greater control and should be used if available.

A number of free GUI tools for MySQL administration are available.

The tool maintained by MySQL AB is available at the following URL: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/

Note: SRC uses an older version of MySQL, so you may see a warning about version mismatch.

MySQL-Front, a well-known GUI tool, is no longer available.
