Hi,

so I got a new job...again...and as one of the very few windows-people it seems I have to cross over to the other side and actually learn something about MySQL too. I was hired as an MS SQL Server DBA but they only have one DBA on MySQL and he's going on holiday in a week so I've been asked to do my best to get "up to speed" before then (luckily there are other MySQL people here as well so I'm not completely on my own).

Are there any tools out there that slightly resembles the Management Studio or at least something other than command-line that can connect me to these databases and do some management? And if any of you know of any crash courses/tutorials in MySQL for MS SQL people I would *really* appreciate any links or whatever you might have. I don't even know where to start...

It's open source, so you're free to develop your own tools.

there are a number of (free) client tools that come with the mysql distribution: MySQL Administrator, MySQL Workbench, etc.
