can i use excel as mysql client. i have 1 table on mysql that i would
like to query and add/update/delete rows. i would love to use excel as
the frontend. is it possible to do it or is there any other options to
do the same. i just need a good front end with nice gui so i can do
possibly cut/paste opertions too. i am not very picky on excel either
if there is another free option front end available.

It is possible to use Excel, but it is not particularly user friendly.

I would use either the MySQL Query Browser, HeidiSQL or possibly OpenOffice
Base
