the admin tool for mysql he used in that  
video,—[http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails\_take2\_with\_sound.mov](http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov),  
i download mysqladminister ,but it is for mysql5.0,and my version is  
4.1.25,  
it often tells me that i have a sql error:  
Error executing SQL commands to update table.  
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds  
to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘DEFAULT  
NULL AFTER `id`,  
DROP PRIMARY KEY,  
ADD PRIMARY KEY(`title`(255))  
, AUT’ at line 1 (error 1064)

so ,any help ,for a gui tool for mysql 4.X,  
i don’;t know there are so my different between 5.0 and  
4.1,surprise…

It’s a tool called CocoaMySQL: [http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/](http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/)

You can also use YourSQL on Mac OS X: [http://yoursql.ludit.it/](http://yoursql.ludit.it/)

It’s really a matter of preference. 🙂
