Basically there are some mysql managers around,
the best ones i know are definitely navicat and phpmyadmin.
You DO know that phpmyadmin is a tool that works through an apache webserver.
If you don't want navicat, what i recommend is that you install easyphp or xxamp (i personaly prefer easyphp).
when you installed easyphp you just go to the program's directory and move the 'phpmyadmin' folder in the 'www' folder.
then you boot up the mysql and apache through the easyphp window (if they aren't already).
then you simply open your browser and goto
To view the content, you need to sign in or register
now i do recommend you secure phpmyadmin.
open the config.inc.php and be sure to set
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; (http would also work)
then you can login to phpmyadmin with user: root and no password (you should set a password though, can be done through phpmyadmin)
this works on any windows machine.
there is no reason this would not work.
hope this helps you
