Today I came across the Mysql Workbench GUI tool which for me is one of the most useful web development applications you can install on Linux.

The mysql website used to host a section called GUI Tools which gave you the awful Mysql Administrator and the incredibly buggy Mysql Browser. Both constantly crashed and were a nightmare.

Mysql Workbench seems to be a replacement of these 2 applications and handles SQL development, data modeling and server administration all under one app.
