Although the mysql client works just fine, some people don't like managing a database with a text-based interface and prefer a more graphical interface. There have been times when I was required to give a non-technical person direct access to one of the MySQL databases that I had developed, and for such situations, MySQL AB (the creator of MySQL) has developed MySQL Control Center.

Book Review: Solaris Systems Programming
Ed Schaefer
Rich Teer is a "self-confessed Sun bigot", and I'm glad he is. This is the rare instance where being a "bigot" is a good thing, because Teer is a well-known Sun consultant with a wealth of Solaris "C" programming experience. Fortunately, he's sharing his experience in his book Solaris Systems Programming. This text covers Solaris OS versions 2.5, 2.6, 7, 8, and 9.
