Many of you are probably using phpMyAdmin to administer your Moodle database in MySQL.
If not, then I have created a new drop-in solution for you - secure with no configuration required!
Just download http://moodle.com/download/moodle-mysql-admin.zip and unzip it in your Moodle "admin" directory. Moodle (current CVS and 1.0.4) will automatically detect it is there and add a link to the admin page: "Manage Database".
Useful for the very occasional time you might want to look in the raw databases.
We have installed this mod (took less than five minutes) and it has worked perfectly so far. We use it to back up our Moodle database every evening.
Any chance that you'll be adding a drop-in chat module?

Glad to hear phpMyAdmin is working well.
A chat module is definitely on the way:

Trivia: Moodle (between 1999 and 2001) used to have a chat module. It was a Java applet that talked to a server written in C, similar to this: http://dougiamas.com/chat. It wasn't integrated very well, and the server end was definitely not cross-platform, so I dropped it.
The new one will be all PHP and should work everywhere. I'm keen on having features like user pictures next to each comment, searchable logs, and so on. My chat module won't be done until next year, though (unless someone else does one).
