An excellent web based MySQL administration tool is freely available at
http://www.phpmyadmin.net

Installation is a 2 minute issue and you can deep dive into your db, add content, delete content, dive into the structure.

Please note:
- You should protect the phpMyAdmin page accordingly as it has no strong built in security.
- Generally there should be no need to play with the vB database, at vB maintains it pretty well. While you CAN use direct MySQL access parallel to vB, chances are, that you manipulate or erase data which is required for the board. So handle with care, please.
