So i'm a MS-SQL Server guy but i have to do some work on a LAMP system...and i want a GUI for my database but the client doesnt want to install phpmyadmin because of some security vulnerabilities he's worried about.

What i don't get is why can't I find a client-based application i can install on MY system which connects to the remote database? Like Toad for Oracle or Query Analyzer/Client Tools for SQL server? From what i understand, phpmyadmin is a web-based GUI that you install on the SERVER. Isn't there a client side tool for this?

I don't have a direct answer for you but what's wrong with installing a webserver and phpMyAdmin on your local machine?

because i dont want tons of overhead for what should be a simple way to use a GUI to access the db.

tfinch2, i'll look into that. That looks like exactly what i need.

I'm not a fan of web apps in any way but Apache isn't huge overhead, especially when compared to crap like Tomcat.

I love using aqua data studio. It's funny you mention toad, they have a mysql app on their site as well.
