Hello everyone....
  It has been quite some time since someone sent a mail on this group. Hope everyone's vivas, etc....[boring/yawn] went well....
  Anyways, I wanted to discuss a few things we should keep in mind when starting some serious work on the GUI client.

Here is a link to the Mysql Query browser, the default Mysql GUI client.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/query-browser/en/index.html

What is particular stands out is:
[1] option to save the table data to a file
[2] handling of CLOB columns
[3] options for editing the table data in the grid itself. However, mysql allows it ONLY for a single table query. We can in theory support it for a JOIN query too.

Once we are done with these exams, we can sit down and give these(and more) issues some serious thought and begin work on it.
