How do you use MySQL as a DBA?
Interesting question for MySQL DBA's: do you prefer using the mysql cli interface and know the SQL statements to execute in order to do your admin work like creating databases or do you prefer using the mysqladmin interface? Personally I prefer using the mysql cli interface and executing things like 'CREATE DATABASE foo' rather than 'mysqladmin create blah' - I suppose I like the SQL queries over remembering the other way of doing things.
