Tool to connect to mysql database - mysql

I have sql developer that I can use to connect to oracle database. But I want to connect to mysql databse. Any free good tool avaialble?

You can try SQLyog which has 30-day trial and also community version. Difference between many free tools and SQLyog are actually SQLyog has many advanced features like Database sync, Schema sync, Import external data, data search etc..
Note that these are available only in Ultimate and Enterprise versions.

I think that you can use http://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/ or http://www.heidisql.com/. Both of them are very good, Workbench is especially good for database schema design.

Download SQLYog. I am using it for years.

There are several tools for this, for example:
mySQL Workbench
mySQL Administrator
or, if you want one that can work with other databases too, you could try:
Heidi SQL
SquirrelSQL

Changing from SQL database server to hosting server's mySQL

I have made a web page which uses a local SQL database server.
Now that I want to publish the web page and place it online, I have to change everything, because the hosting server uses mySQL and presents me with his own mySQL database, and I don't know how to make that transition, I have an entity model in my solution and the Controller my database.
The specific question is - what are the steps to make that transition?
1 use SQL Tools (don't know what version you have) do a full backup.
2 from the new hosting server, restore the database.
3 change your connection strings or path (depends on programming environment) to use new MySQL.
Here is a link to what I used when I migrated in a similar way as to automate the whole process(Yes, it took a little learning but worth it). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpPANKhbpDs

MySQL Workbench provides you with the Migration Wizard feature. It allows you to migrate databases from various RDBMS products to MySQL.
This documentation would help you get started,... http://mysqlworkbench.org/2012/07/migrating-from-ms-sql-server-to-mysql-using-workbench-migration-wizard/
There are also several paid tools available which convert MS SQL to MySQL, but I've never used them personally. These tool come with free trial so you can actually test them before purchase. You can also refer similar threads on Stackoverflow,...

MySQL Front-end Software

I have a MySQL database, I need to have an Excel-like front-end so that the system administrator can import Excel/CSV files directly into the database.
I used to use Navicat, but there was some problem with doing this. Is there any freeware that has the same functionality?
Thanks!
I use also Navicat for MySQL and frankly I do not experience problems importing/exporting Excel/CSV data...
Anyway, you can try HeidiSQL, MySQL-Front or DevArt MySQL Studio...

MySQL Query Painter

I have a client who is very used to the MS Access query tool. I am migrating all of his data into MySQL.
Any recommendations for a User Friendly query painter I could provide him to be able to paint up his queries rather than type up SQL code?
Why can't he just use Access with ODBC linked tables?
The usual answer for MySQL is phpMyAdmin, though. I use it for a number of websites I manage and I think it's quite nice as a management tool (though the querying tools are not nearly as well-developed as Access's).
MySQL has an official MySQL Workbench:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/tools/workbench/
From the docs:
MySQL Workbench provides DBAs and developers an integrated tools environment for:
Database Design & Modeling
SQL Development (replacing MySQL Query Browser)
Database Administration (replacing MySQL Administrator)
Database Migration

Offline tool to work with MySQL databases like phpMyAdmin?

Like phpMyAdmin has to be installed as a web application to work with MySQL databases, is there a downloadable program that can connect to a remote MySQL server to create, read, update and delete databases, tables, columns and rows?
My favourite is HeidiSQL, a fork of the late and great mySQLFront.
MySQL GUI tools are great. Here They are doing an EOL but rolling them into a new product.
For Windows, you can use MySQL Query Browser and MySQL Administrator. Download them in one package from:
MySQL GUI Tools

Free Tool for Validating 2 Databases

I want a free tool for verification all table data between 2 mysql databases ?
is there any free tool available on Linux
Try mysqldiff which uses PHP to compare two MySQL databases. It's freeware too.
My mistake; that tool only does database structure differences and not data differences.
In Toad for MySQL : you can compare 2 database and it is free.
DataBase Workbench made this too but it is not free
Available on Linux with Wine.
