Somehow, open source always rules. There are many commercial and free mysql management tools that are great and really easy to use. I have used a whole line of them, from Navicat MySQL, SQLYog for MySQL and many more. MySQL front was another one that was opensource until it outgrew itself.

PHPMYADMIN, web-based mysql management tool is among the best tools i have ever used in my entire career. There may be options but 68% of web hosts use it, 75% of mysql developers do use it and there is no end to the starts. It is the ease in understanding it, the web interface that is easy to run, availability and the fact that its FREE to use. Its also quite easy to install and most of the pre-packaged apache/PHP/MySQL installations come with PHPMYADMIN pre-installed.

Lets hear you here, what is your best choice? I stand for PHPMYADMIN!
