MySql gui? - noobie question

Hello.

So I'm new to using xampp, and I have a question regarding mysql. Is there a mysql gui that is part of this installation? Again, I am quite new to xampp and I have previously been using sql server. But with sql server I have a studio management tool, a gui if you will, that I can open up to run queries, view databases, etc.

The only thing that I have found for mysql in this xampp installation is a command line tool; the mysql.exe. Am I missing something here? An extra component or something?

I apologize for the noobie question, but I did do a pretty thorough search on the web and couldn't seem to find the answer to this question. So unless I'm blind and overlooked something, I'm assuming that it's command line driven.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thx.

You can use phpmyadmin to administrate your MySQL RDBMS. Phpmyadmin is part of XAMPP.

The other possibility is to install tools like MySQL Workbench. But thats not part of XAMPP.
