MySQL Query Browser

Overview

In this tutorial, we will learn about MySQL Query Browser. We have used the mysql command-line client utility to interact with the database server. MySQL also supports GUI client tools like Query browser and MySQL Workbench GUI client tool.

MySQL Query Browser

MySQL Query Browser is a cross-platform GUI client program that’s intuitive and easy to use. It provides a graphical interface to the MySQL server for querying and analyzing data.

While all queries executed in the MySQL Query Browser can also be run from the command-line using the mysql utility. However, the MySQL Query Browser allows database interaction in a more intuitive graphical manner.

It can be downloaded from the following URL:

https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/query/

It is not included with MySQL server distributions but can be obtained from the MySQL Web site. It is available for Windows and Linux operating systems.

MySQL Query Browser Download

For Windows operating system the tool is available as.msi installer and a no setup .zip archive file.

Please note that the tool has been deprecated. Consider using MySQL Workbench instead of the query browser. MySQL Workbench provides an integrated GUI environment for MySQL database design, SQL development, administration, and migration.
