title: django, phpmyadmin and mysql?
body: <p>I would like to start using Django with MYSQL, instead of sqlite all the time, however my only experience using MSQL is through XAMPP, manipulating databases through phpmyadmin. I would really like to keep this gui interaction with mysql and not have to do everything through command line.</p>
  
  <p>Can you start and manage a MYSQL database using xampp/phpmyadmin, and then use django for the web development side only using Django'sn development server?</p>
  
  <p>Or do you have to always start new databases through command line, and if so how is it done, bearing in mind I only ever use mysql through xampp/phpmyadmin?</p>
  
  <p>I know how to link and manage a database through django, I just dont know how to start a mysql one through it, and I dont really want to have to loose the mysql gui that comes with xampp/phpmyadmin. all help is greatly appreciated.</p>
