Does anyone have an opinion as to the best MySQL front end tool currently available?
I've looked at Emma and there's also kmysqladmin and maybe some others.
Thanks

I guess I should have specified that I need a mysql tool that will connect to multiple remote mysql servers.
phpmyadmin just admins databases on its own resident server, does it not?

Phpmyadmin can be configured to connect to remote mysql installations, so long as they are accessible from the server running phpmyadmin.
I also use Kmysqladmin, if you'd rather not use phpmyadmin.

phpmyadmin is really good for people who havent yet discovered MySQL GUI Tools (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html). :p Also MySQL Workbench (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/5.0.html) is available on Windows (Visual Database schema design application), will be available on Linux soon.
DBDesgner4 (http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/) can be installed on Linux. MySQL Workbench is a fork of DBDesigner4 (Visual DB schema design).
