MySQL Query Browser alternatives [closed]

Question

I usually use MySQL Query Browser for my queries, but I always run into issues with the connections timing out and the Query Browser locking up, so I'm looking into alternatives. The new MySQL Workbench is much too slow and heavyweight, I prefer that the Administrative tools and the Query tools are separate (although it wouldn't be as much of a problem if the application wasn't so slow). I run on Ubuntu 10.04 x64. I'd like to avoid Windows/Wine-based solutions as much as possible. I also have had bad experiences (slow, buggy) with JVM-based MySQL applications, although perhaps other people know more lightweight ones.

I want something lightweight that can show me the schemas, tables, and column tree, and present a decent UI for editing tables.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I realize you want to avoid wine, but this might be a good suggestion for you as a free tool.

Although it does run on Java and may not be the prettiest thing ever, I pretty much always use Squirrel SQL client. If you haven't tried it, I recommend looking at it. Squirrel SQL Client
