How to Manage Your MySQL Databases

SQLyog is a professional-grade GUI tool for the MySQL RDBMS. SQLyog is available for the Windows operating system starting from Windows XP/Windows 2003 to Windows 8/Server 2008 R2. It will also work under Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X using the Wine environment. Moreover, a subset of SQLyog Enterprise/Ultimate functionalities is available with the free SQLyog Job Agent (SJA) for Linux as a native Linux utility. This makes it possible to specify and test "scheduled jobs" on a Windows environment and port execution parameters seamlessly to a Linux environment.

Why Use a Database Administration Tool

Database administration tools provide a GUI/web interface to automate database tasks like querying tables, find and replace operations, and any other task that you might want to run on a database. With respect to MySQL, it offers the free MySQL Workbench. Although it’s far more visually appealing than the command line interface, performance is less than stellar when under a high workload. As such, many users have reported that MySQL Workbench hangs or fails to respond. Frustration has led DBAs to far superior paid solutions that not only deliver more robust operations but also come with various useful features to help you get the most out of your DBA tasks.
