MySQL shell on Windows

The command line interface to MySQL works perfectly well in itself, but when using my local copy I'm forced to interact with it using the old-fashioned DOS windows. Is there some way I can redirect it through a better shell?

It sounds like a GUI is not really what you were after, but maybe HeidiSQL would be worth a look. It's a GUI frontend for MySQL which I wouldn't say I quite enjoyed using, but I've certainly come across worse ways to talk with a database.

Have you tried the MySQL Query Browser? Works cross platform and is much nicer than the plain shell.
