IGAUCHO  Um, you can run it on OS X Server just like you can Apache or MySQL?  
(Version 3.3.0)

POOLSHARKPETE  How is this a Mac application?   
(Version 3.3.0-rc1)

RICARDO BATISTA  The download link is wrong, it goes to release notes. So instead click on the Development team link, then you'll find downloads in different formats on the right of the window.  
(Version 3.2.4)

MACLOVER1.1  MAMP does indeed simplify Life in a big way. Other stuff is usually NerdWare. If the world were run by nerds we'd have to get out of the car to change a red light to a green one by hand lol Nerd motto: "make sure things are as complex as possible".  
(Version 3.2.2.1)

JASONH1234  I'm tired of hunting for tutorials and finding installation procedures for out of date versions. This should have an installer that can get it in and working in under a minute. If someone made an installer for phpmyadmin that could install it in a couple clicks I'd pay $100 on the spot for it right now. My time is worth to much to me to keep screwing around trying to learn how to get it installed.  
(Version 3.1.3.2)

CROW  This is back to being my favourite application. I find it indispensible for MySQL administration. The past few versions have been rock-solid. Setup is still a little tricky, but has been improved considerably with the setup scripts.  
(Version 2.11.2.2)

ERICOB  Anyone interested in this might also want to check out "MySQL Administrator." (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/administrator/1.1.html).

It doesn't look like it would work remotely, but on the other hand it is an actual program, not a collection of PHP scripts. It seems pretty well organized, while in my every-so-often use of phpMyAdmin, that program has always seemed confusingly organized.  
(Version 2.8.1)

CROW  Wow - up until this version (2.8) everything was great. I cannot for the life of me get this version to work, despite following the instructions to the letter. I get errors such as "A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time", even when I try using the setup script.

I love this app. I hope this is a bug that will be fixed soon, or that it is something that can be solved by better documentation. For right now, I can't use it.  
(Version 2.8b1)

PAL  This is the best and easiest way that I've found to run your databases. Easy to: create, copy, export, update etc. If you haven't tried it, what's stopping you? It's free!

To the guy with the setup problems... It's a little scary the first time but all you usually need to do is edit the config file to add the mySQL:username, mySQL:password and the directory where the site files are (which is probably the toughest part). All the other options(very many) were fine for me at the defaults.

The only problem that I've had is that on very large sql files (over 500k of inserts), it sometimes chokes. I'm not sure if this is a phpMyAdmin, browser or server problem. (It says maximum 2048k) The same data in a csv file works as an import but it's also smaller in bytes.

I use it for home tinkering and remotely on a 34 site server.  
(Version 2.6.4)

RYAN  This is simply the best way to manually interact with a mySQL database. I use it both on my webserver and on my PowerBook for local testing. It has a very good graphical interface that gives the user access to just about any controls on the database or table.

I suppose if I had to fault it for anything, it would be it's comprehensive features. It can be simply overwhelming to a new user. But to novices, I'd say, just sit down to take the time to learn it. The mySQL manual is relatively easy to understand, although there's a lot of information in it.
