If you're refering to mysql's own rendition of what one might loosely call
an "application" -- http://www.mysql.com/downloads/gui-clients.html,
I've
tried it several times, only to be unimpressed each time. It's not
organized very well, and worst of all it's just butt ugly! I find
phpMyAdmin to be alot more intuitive and clean, not to mention it's great
for clients. You can easily toss a copy of phpMyAdmin into a client's web
directory, and tune it down so it only shows a single database. Then the
client is managing his own database instead of bugging you all the time.
Everytime a new mysql gui client is released, I download it and try it, and
I always come back to phpMyAdmin...
