MYSQL Query Browser

MySQL Query Browser. Part of MySQL GUI Tools – native toolkit from Sun for managing MySQL databases.

What it does

Query browser allows to make connection to local or remote MySQL databases and run queries on it.

Strong features


  • native tool that doesn’t need intermediary drivers (like AnySQL Maestro does);

  • as result – good performance;

  • some import and multiply export capabilities;

  • embedded documentation for MySQL syntax and functions.


Downsides

No internal manager for queries. They can only be saved as external plain text files. Makes hard to manage large amount of those.


Overall


While it is hardly flashy, Query Browser is native, cross-platform and open source tool that works without installation. It doesn’t come with more complex visual functions but is just fine for writing queries, running them and exporting results.
