Can you recommend a free light-weight MySQL GUI for Linux? [closed]

Try Adminer. The whole application is in one PHP file, which means that the deployment is as easy as it can get. It's more powerful than phpMyAdmin; it can edit views, procedures, triggers, etc.

Adminer is also a universal tool, it can connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, Oracle, SimpleDB, Elasticsearch and MongoDB.

You should definitely give it a try.

You can install on Ubuntu with sudo apt-get install adminer or you can also download the latest version from adminer.org

Here are few solutions -

• MySql Gui tools is official ui from Mysql.
• You can also try Mysql Workbench which is going to replace Gui Tools.
• Mysql Yog can be run on Linux using wine (I think they officially recommend this method).
• HeidiSql is also good option, I use it most of the time. It also run using wine on Linux. It lightest of all.
• If you are looking for web based solution than phpmyadmin is the solution.

Since you are already using sqlyog, I suggest you to use same on Linux as well.

Why not try MySQL GUI Tools? It's light, and does its job well.
