Hi have installed MySQL on my local PC. I want a front end so that i have a GUI for creating tables, inserting values etc.
I know about SQLYOG but i don't know if its free/open-source. I want to use it in my office, so I can't use pirated stuff.
Any other tool for GUI?
I sometimes really like the MySQL Workbench. It's available free for all the major platforms (Ubuntu, Mac, Windows etc. and the advantage compared to tools like phpMyAdmin is, that you
have a nice environment for designing your database and not only a tool for querying
don't need to setup a Apache/IIS for running the tool
Use phpMyAdmin, it's open-source & has some great GUI features.
My choice is "Toad for MySQL". It is a freeware.

try phpmyadmin.I think it is what you are looking for.
i would recommend one of standalone tools instead of setting up whole php/apache stack
i'm not using any of those but quick googling provides some options: mysql workbench, sql yog, sequel pro, heidi sql
I usually use phpMyAdmin if web access is required or I have LAMP stack setup, or otherwise I use MySQL Workbench.
At work I also use SqlDbx which is pretty awesome and does what I need.
I like to use this tool, it is a nice graphic interface that will generate the needed SQL when you save it. You can then just run the SQL on your database.

Is there any Free SQLite GUI tool?
something like Workbench for MySQL?
I've been looking for something like that every tool I found is paid and very complex features...
I just want simple stuff like, creating tables, columns, run queries(insert,update,delete, select)
thanks all
There is a nice free one that works with Firefox ... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
Thanks
:)
The simplest tool I've seen is the Firefox add-on "SQLite Manager". Allows you to browse your sqlite database, create tables and indexes, execute sql queries, export your data, etc. Easy to use. You run it from the Firefox Tools menu and connect to any sqlite database file on your computer. Will not do fancy stuff like diagram your DB schema -- but if you want something simple, this is it.
Mozilla plugin is best and neat for sqllite.
Please note one limitation though while using to open the file directly under the bundle is that it gets locked and you need to keep reopening or stop the app and refresh
Try using SQLite Database Browser.

Can you recommend a good MySQL stored procedure debugger?
Extra points if it is open source, and works in linux :)
It's neither open source (but freeware) nor works in linux, but Toad® for MySQL should be able to assist you in debugging stored procedures on a Windows client.
I have used SQLYog MySQL editor and it has some nice features. Unfortunately it does not really meet your criteria. There is a community edition though, so its half way there.
I don't know if this would meet your requirement but it's the only thing that comes to mind.
Edit: This may also be helpful but it doesn't quite meet either the free or available on Linux test.
Please try the following MySQL debugger that supports breakpoints, a call stack, a variables evaluation, watches of any routines (procedures, function and even triggers)
http://www.devart.com/dbforge/mysql/studio/code-debugger.html.
But, unfortunately, it runs only on Windows.
The best mysql debugger is in dbForge Studio for MySQL! (imho)
You can try Illatis StepIn, debug MySQL stored procedures in Windows and Linux. See this page: http://www.illatis.com/downloads/downloads.php.
Cheers

What is the best GUI for managing MySQL 5.1 installation? Would like something as close to SQL Server's management tools as possible as that's where my experience is. The management client would need to run under Windows (XP, Vista (32 and 64-bit flavors), and 7 (32 and 64-bit flavors).
I have been using SqlYog for about several years now and am very happy with it. It has the best interface I have seen. Navicat is good, but SqlYog is better. Plus there are several "power" features that come in handy like the query builder tab.
The Pro version is about $70 but there is a free community version.
http://www.webyog.com/en/downloads.php
If you also have a PHP/Apache server, you can user phpMyAdmin or SQL Buddy. Otherwise, the MySQL GUI Tools (Query Browser and Administrator) are good.
Check out MySQL Administrator and other GUI tools here.
You might want to have a look at HeidiSQL. It's free and fast.
So far the closest thing I've found is Navicat Lite http://www.navicat.com/

I am currently working with a developer who is experienced at Ms-SQL, but not much at MySQL. He has been cursing MySQL for having Bugs, and also being far harder to use.
Is is because his experience has been so good with Management studio. It seems to me that his problems are with using phpMyAdmin.
For example, he cites not being able to cross join and compare between tables of different structures using MySQL. Is the problem actually our choice of management tool, or does MySQL have these flaws that my developer thinks. I hope not, as I have just been blown away how fast doing various data management tasks have been in Studio Manager.
You should really check SQLYog. It's great, and has a community version.
Hate to rain on your parade of tools, but while some of the ones mentioned here are pretty cool, none of them have the mojo of SSMS.
In my MySQL work, I basically switched between SQLYog and MySQL GUI Tools, depending on what I did. SQLYog Enterprise Edition (e.g. the non-free one) also adds support for really basic schema code completion.
Quest Toad is good and has pay and free versions for *MySQL.
free version no longer available
More tools to try: EMS SQL Management Studio or MySQL GUI Tools (now called MySQL Workbench)
I would suggest Aqua Data Studio. I don't think that it has a free version, however it is pretty powerful and has a ton of great features that are similar to SQL Server Management Studio.
VSQL++ for MySQL is a powerful GUI database management tool for MySQL

I'm on a little quest of merging the structure of two MySql databases. Is there a tool for this with the might of Red-Gate's SQL Compare? Are there any free alternatives?
I've been using SQLyog for years now. Recently they released v8.0 which includes an updated interface and two very cool features the Query Profiler and SQL Formatter. The formatter was the reason I upgraded this year.

A few years ago I tried Navicat and the mysql manager but decided on SQLyog. I'm sure both products have been updated since but I'm still happy with SQLyog which is updated regularly.
[Update] - Just downloaded and installed NaviCat 8 for MySQL and was not impressed
After I added this post I reviewed and downloaded v8 of NaviCat for MySQL. In comparison with user interface of SQLyog there is no comparison. SQLyog is better and more intuitive. Especially with the two latest features mentioned earlier. Immediately I noticed how SQLyog keeps you in one window when trying to view the data of a table, while Navicat spawns a new window. The report builder and viewer is the only thing that would put Navicat above SQLyog IMHO, and I already have other means to handle reports using ASP.NET. Try both products and I think you'll agree with me.
although i dont have any experience with it, i hear that navicat would be the tool to use:
https://www.navicat.com/en/products/navicat-for-mysql
also toad for mysql i hear isnt bad:
http://www.quest.com/toad-for-mysql/
Toad for MySQL can do both a "Schema Compare" as well as a "Data Compare" (and a lot more).
It used to be freeware, but the latest versions are not. You can still find the old versions though.
I've used Navicat for more than 3 years. It provides all the features that I need and save me tons of time for managing and developing MySQL and Oracle.
