i suggest checking the mysql web site for a gui client and admin app.
I'm afraid I must disagree. The mysql command line client is quite powerful and not so hard to use. If I get a syntax error while issuing a SQL command, I want to know it's me and not the GUI interface that caused the problem. Plus, once you understand the syntax, it becomes easy to script and automate all kinds of things like database backups, syncs, queries, etc. Then again, maybe I am just twisted that way ;)

Hi. I'm somewhere in the middle. I really struggled getting mysql up and writing my first database although if you follow the pet database setup at www.mysql.com (it's in the documentation, chapter three I think) you'll soon see that the command line really is the best place to be when selecting mating pairs of dogs born before 1999. The only gui I have found to be of any use is the one I use at www.lycos.es. It is great for seeing your info on screen like a spreadsheet and fiddling with it. Good luck. Steve.
