Chapter 4. Using MySQL Programs
This chapter provides a brief overview of the command-line programs
provided by MySQL AB and discusses the general syntax for specifying
options when you run these programs. Most programs have options that
are specific to their own operation, but the option syntax is
similar for all of them. Later chapters provide more detailed
descriptions of individual programs, including which options they
recognize.
MySQL AB also provides three GUI client programs for use with MySQL
Server:
MySQL Administrator: This tool is used for administering MySQL
servers, databases, tables, and user accounts.
MySQL Query Browser: This graphical tool is provided by MySQL AB
for creating, executing, and optimizing queries on MySQL
databases.
MySQL Migration Toolkit: This tool helps you migrate schemas and
data from other relational database management systems for use
with MySQL.
These GUI programs each have their own manuals that you can access
at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/.
