MySQL front end management

    Hi,

    I have built a MySQL database schema for my company and now I want a number of managers here to be able to add and delete records from it.

    I know I could go and develop the php to do this but is there a desktop application that would do this (ie that would sit on top of the database). I know I could use MySQL workbench but I would rather give the manager a simpler application and ideally not have to build the application from scratch (ie in VB / php etc).

    Thanks

    Mike

    Install phpadmin to view/browse/delete records online without your managers needing to know SQL. This is pretty very friendly.. point click add/update/delete row inline similar to excel.

    You will need a webserver with PHP support - but you have mentioned PHP so I gather you have this.

    Another option might be to try baking it with Cake PHP - cakephp.org. You could have a basic CRUD php site up in minutes, including menus to browse to related tables.

    Other environments may have something similar but I have used this and it works well.

    Edit: forgot it has its own naming conventions for the database if you want to bake it. Might be one for the future.

    Installing Navicat or dbForge for MySQL would probably be an easier solution. No messing around with web servers.
