I’ve used PHPMyAdmin for a long time for all my MySQL administration needs. However, I recently discovered the MySQL tools the MySQL query browser and the MySQL Administrator.
Together these do pretty much everything PHPMyAdmin can do and I have found that they provide an alternative to other software like MySQL-Front too.
The MySQL query browser is great for working on complex queries with features such as; tabbed views, query history, query comparison, and the best animated dolphins you’ve ever seen!
The MySQL admin tool provides a lot of useful information on the current running status of your MySQL server as well as user management and a great back-up and restore feature.
The next question is do they work remotely? Fortunately the answer is yes for SSH equipped machines. Simply download a copy of PuTTY and set up a tunnel for port 3306. That way you can securely access your MySQL database securely via SSH.
