<BR>Can you suggest something for me? I am trying to write a database to keep my feed info for a google transit feed. The data set isn't going to change too much, but I am going to run a lot of querys. I would like to use a GUI similar to MSSQL SSMS.<BR>
<BR>
I don't have enough experience with MySQL to write the statements by hand without alot of digging.<BR>
