What MySql client are you using for Linux. I currently use PhpMyAdmin and the Mysql Query Browser but I would like something similar to Toad or HeidiSql that I use on windows. One with SQL code completion.

is code completion the only additional requirement you're looking for? – quack quixote Apr 8 '10 at 19:46

The more I can get, the better. Basically looking for the best MySql client on linux. I'm a developer, so writing losts of SQL scripts and my databases are getting big. Writing Stored Procedures often also, so anything that will make my life easier. Thanks – Hannes de Jager Apr 8 '10 at 19:51

I use SqlYog running under Wine. This is because quite simply no linux tools that I've found come close to matching the raw power and flexability of SqlYog. This is one of the few non open-source software tools that I use for open source development.

Really looks like a good one. I see Google is also using it. Pity they don't have a native one for Linux, but Wine should do I suppose. – Hannes de Jager Apr 12 '10 at 18:09
Oh I fonrgot to mention that the code completion in SqlYog will also complete the object (tables,columns) names within your database. – Josiah Apr 13 '10 at 10:40

You might find crunchyfrog useful, should you ever have to work with databases other than MySQL.

Take a look at this list for Toad from http://alternativeto.net I'm pretty sure Oracle SQL Developer will do what you want on linux.

I'm pretty sure Oracle SQL Developer won't work with MySQL – Doug Harris Apr 9 '10 at 0:58

I have always prefered Squirrel SQL . Its a universal sql client - so you can use the app to connect to mysql , msSql , Oracle , etc etc.

Tora (Qt client) and Mysql-Workbench (official MySQL client, in GTK) are another alternatives for Linux.
