MySQL-Front is an easy-to-use-interface for web-workers dealing with
MySQL-Databases. It requires libmySQL.dll from the MySQL-Server as

--------------------------------------
- create/drop databases

- edit/insert/delete records
- edit BLOBs with Bitmap/GIF/JPEG-Support
- a list of server-variables

- view advanced table-properties, such as Type, Comment, Key_Length
and so on
- export table-structure and data into SQL-scripts or other databases
- replicate databases between two hosts ("Export tables...")
- save data to CSV-Files (ideal for working with MS-Excel) or
HTML-tables
- copy CSV-data/HTML-Tables to clipboard
- copy tables to new table-names
- change table-types to ISAM, MYISAM, MERGE, HEAP, InnoDB, BDB or
userdefined types

Changes to the last version:
--------------------------------------
Many many many new features, improvements and bugfixes in version 2.5. Most of
them concern the data-grids.
See the complete changes-log on http://my.anse.de/changes.php
--------------------------------------
Requirements:
--------------------------------------
- libmysql.dll (Client-library for MySQL-Server)
- msvcrt.dll (Microsoft (R) C Runtime Library)
- TCP/IP-Protocol
- ODBC-Engine (for the ODBC-import-option)
In case ODBC makes problems, you need to go to the Microsoft site,
download and install DCOM95 from
http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom95/download.asp and then
download and install MDAC 2.6.RTM from
http://www.microsoft.com/data/download_260rtm.htm
Note: DCOM95 is only needed for Windows 95 - it is not needed for
later Windows versions.

Troubleshooting:
--------------------------------------
I have set up a FAQ with some questions which were asked very often:
http://www.anse.de/mysqlfront/faq.php
In case there is no answer to your question found in the FAQ, you can
post in the Support-Forum:

Thanks to Jan Schmitz-Reinthal for setting up this proper forum!
Please do *not* send me e-mails with technical questions. I get so many
mails each day, I cannot reply to them all. Instead you should at first
have a look at the forum (URL above).
