Hello,
I was wondering what MySQL graphical interfaces most of you prefer to easily manipulate data from the database. I have tried MySQL Control Center and Navicat but they are just not that great. They have some qualities in some aspects but also some disadvantages in others. I am not sure if this is a bug or just the GUI�s fault but I can never cancel a SQL query without having to end the process of the whole program.
Does anyone have any recommendations of what would be the best MySQL GUI?
Thanks,
Claudio

For me, phpmyadmin always did the job...
I'll second that. phpmyadmin is a terrific tool, and easy to use. The SourceForge page is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/, and the main page is at http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/. You'll need Apache, along with the PHP preprocessor, at http://httpd.apache.org/ and http://www.php.net/, respectively.

I'll.. umm.. third that? phpmyadmin is ridiculously simple to install... just untar the directory and move it into your document root somewhere. You'll need to edit the config.inc.php file to reflect your login information, but other than that there's nothing to it!
It even generates PHP code for you to stick into your scripts, if you're too lazy / don't know mysql+PHP.

It seems that phpMyAdmin is a preferred MySQL GUI but the reason why I did not want to use it is because I am not sure if it is easy to export and import data to other files (i.e.: txt, excel). With Navicat you can perform that task very easily but I was hoping to see if there was another GUI better than that one.
I will give phpMyAdmin a try during the weekend and see what it has to offer.
Thanks for the responds.

Phpmyadmin exports to the following formats from the GUI:
SQL LaTeX CSV for Ms Excel data CSV data XML
I've never seen any functionality present in another GUI MySQL interface that wasn't also available in phpmyadmin. IMHO it really is the best.

On Mac OS X, CocoaMySQL is a very useful tool:
