Frequently Asked Questions

What is a MySQL GUI?
A MySQL GUI — also called a MySQL viewer, editor, or query browser — is a visual desktop client that lets you browse schemas, run SQL, and edit rows without using the mysql command-line tool. 1bench is a modern MySQL GUI for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Does MySQL have a GUI?
MySQL ships with a command-line client, not a graphical one. For a visual interface, you install a third-party MySQL GUI like 1bench — a desktop app that lets you explore databases, edit rows inline, and run queries from one interface.
What is the best MySQL GUI for Mac, Windows, or Linux?
A good MySQL GUI should run natively on your OS, support SSH tunnels and SSL connections, and let you browse schemas, edit rows, and manage queries without leaving the app. 1bench delivers all of this with a single download for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Can I use a MySQL GUI with MySQL-compatible databases?
Yes. Any database that speaks the MySQL wire protocol — forks, distributed engines, and managed MySQL services — works with a standard MySQL GUI. 1bench connects using the same connection string, so you don't need a separate client per flavor.
What is the difference between a MySQL client and server?
The MySQL server is the database process that stores data and runs queries; the client is the tool you use to connect and send queries to it. A GUI client like 1bench is one kind of client — it talks to a local or remote MySQL server over TCP (port 3306 by default).

Not Just MySQL

One tool for all your databases. No more juggling apps.
