Anyone know a GUI where I can start MySQL Server?
I know MySQL Control Center and MySQL Query Browser but I still haven't found a GUI for MySQL Server - anyone know? Is there a package for it?
The best database front end for linux that I know of is Rekall (http://www.rekallrevealed.org/). This is a GPLed app that lets you create tables, forms, queries and reports suitable for desktop use, and uses MySQL as one of the possible back ends (PostgreSQL, dBase and others are also possible). It's based on the Qt toolkit (not a web interface) so should fit nicely into a SUSE KDE desktop. It's probably the easiest to use as an actual day-to-day database because its forms and reports are very good. I've been using Rekall for quite some time and it's excellent - it provides all the tools most people will need to replace Access or FileMaker Pro. It requires a certain amount of knowledge to use (i.e. you need to know the basics of relational databases) but the manual is OK and the mailing list can give excellent help.
