How to administer MySQL databases?

To administer MySQL databases one can use the included command-line tool (commands: mysql and mysqladmin). Also downloadable from the MySQL site are GUI administration tools: MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser. Both of the GUI tools are now included in one package called MySQL GUI Tools.

A widespread and popular alternative, written in PHP, is the free software web application phpMyAdmin which is a server side tool. For client side MySQL administration and development, the leading tool is Navicat MySQL GUI, which provides the same functionality as phpMyAdmin but more advanced in the Import/Export, Backup and Data Sync. features.
