I am interested in attaching a Windows app to the database to view the tables and fields. My search did not yield much. That being said, if anyone has had experience with setting up ODBC in this app, I would be very interested in hearing your story. Thanks.

There's almost got to be several mysql clients for MS-Windows. All you should need to do is enable remote access like you would for a SBE or FE only system on the server end, and tell the client program the hostname (or IP address) and port for the mysql server.

I second slow2learn. I use mysql at work and use that odbc with MS Access to do reporting, etc.

If you're trying to query or import into other apps, the connector is the way to go, but if you just want to peer into the database and/or update values, you can use MySQL's Query Browser (part of their GUI Tools) here ...

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html

Functionality is similar to phpmyadmin, but it's in a nice gui.

It is also possible to connect using the windows tools through an ssh tunnel.

This has the advantage of not requiring a port to be opened to the mysql server. This method does not require any configuration changes on the KnoppMyth box to allow access.
