on-rev queries

The cPanel and phpMyAdmin is "OK" in that it works, but I find it very
clumsy. Check out MySQL Workbench (the Community Edition) at
http://mysql.com/products/workbench/. It's completely free, cross-platform
(PC, Mac, Linux), runs from your desktop, and has one of the best ER
Modeling modules I've ever seen. At this point you can download version 5.1
or 5.2 (which is considered beta) but I have found it very stable and it's
quite different from 5.1.
