In the screencast on [RoR.com](http://RoR.com) entitled “Creating a weblog in 15 minutes”  
the tool CocoaMySQL is being used to define and modify the database  
schema.

[http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails\_take2\_with\_sound.mov](http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov)  
[CocoaMySQL - A MySQL GUI for Mac OS X](http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/index.html)

CocoaMySql runs only on OSX. Are there equivalent tools for Linux  
and/or Windows?

Thanks!

A tool I use extensively in both Win and Linux is MySQL Administrator  
which is available from [www.mysql.com](http://www.mysql.com) - that seems to provide similar  
functionality to CocoaMySQL

Or if your web server supports PHP, you can use PhpMyAdmin from  
[www.phpmyadmin.net](http://www.phpmyadmin.net) wich is platform independant, and as powerful as  
CocoaMySQL  
or MySQL Administrator.

I don’t know if a RubyOnRails equivalent to PhpMyAdmin exists.
