MySQL Ecosystem Showcase
Explore tools and projects built with, for, or on MySQL.
Inspired by Shlomi Noach's Awesome MySQL and the fork by Alkin Tezuysal.
Adminer
Jakub Vrana
A lightweight database administration interface implemented primarily as a single PHP file. It provides browser-based SQL execution and database management without the footprint of a larger application suite.
Beekeeper Studio
Beekeeper
Beekeeper Studio is a SQL editor and database management application for MySQL and other popular databases. Its intuitive interface combines SQL editing with syntax highlighting and autocomplete, spreadsheet-style data browsing and editing, visual table design, and data import and export. It also supports SSL connections and SSH tunneling, helping developers query and manage databases from one workspace.
DataGrip
JetBrains
DataGrip is a cross-platform database IDE for MySQL and a wide range of relational and NoSQL databases. It combines intelligent SQL completion, code analysis and quick fixes, query history, and flexible data import and export in one workspace. Built-in version control integration and schema-aware AI assistance help developers write, troubleshoot, and optimize queries.
DBeaver
DBeaver Corporation / community
A cross-platform database client supporting SQL, data browsing, schema management, ER diagrams, and many database engines. It is one of the most widely used general-purpose database GUIs in the list.
HeidiSQL
HeidiSQL project
A Windows-oriented database client with strong support for MySQL/MariaDB and additional database engines. It provides query editing, data browsing, schema management, and administration features.
ILLA Cloud
ILLA Cloud
A low-code internal-tool builder that can connect to MySQL and other data sources. It combines database connectivity with application building and GUI-driven workflows.
LibreDB Studio
Sekoya Tech
A self-hosted database IDE that runs as a single container and is used from a browser, so the MySQL server does not need a port open to every workstation. It provides schema browsing, a SQL editor with schema-aware completion, ER diagrams and schema comparison with generated migration SQL, and it keeps its own state in SQLite rather than requiring a second database. MIT licensed. Alongside MySQL it reaches MariaDB, Percona Server for MySQL, TiDB, Vitess, StarRocks, Apache Doris, OceanBase and SingleStore over the same wire protocol, each measured against a live server with the per-engine results published.
mycli
dbcli community
A terminal client for MySQL that adds command completion, syntax highlighting, and a more interactive shell experience than the traditional MySQL CLI. It is especially useful for developers and DBAs who prefer terminal workflows.
MySQL Shell
Oracle / MySQL Team
Oracle's modern command-line client and administration shell for MySQL. It supports SQL, JavaScript, and Python modes and includes AdminAPI capabilities for managing MySQL InnoDB Cluster and related deployments.
MySQL Workbench
Oracle / MySQL Team
The official graphical environment for MySQL database design, SQL development, administration, and modeling. It remains a major desktop tool even though MySQL Shell has become the more modern administrative interface.
