For years I had been a big fan of the MySQL-Front tool, which gave you a nice GUI for connecting and viewing MySQL databases. But unfortunately, it was discontinued apparently due to being forced OFF the market by MySQL AB - www.mysqlfront.de

I had stored a really old copy of it on my machine for years - but this no longer works properly with the latest version of MySQL. So I was stuck with using the official MySQL Query Browser, which I never thought was half as good as MySQL-Front.

But thankfully my bro - pointed out a new product, very similar (i think its the same with new features and a new name!) called HeidiSQL - every developer using MySQL should have this in their tool box!!!
