I going to outright say it: MySQL Workbench completely sucks. It is a convoluted, complicated, steaming pile of bloated nonsense. It is hard to perform a simple query. Worse, the damn thing keeps crashing. I missed the simplicity of MySQL Query Browser. Yet, Oracle deprecated it a while back and Canonical removed the package in Ubuntu 12.04.
After some searching, I found that Tyler Wagner maintains an APT repository containing MySQL Query Browser ported from Oneiric.
I summarize the installation here:
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://www.tolaris.com/apt/ precise main'
wget -q http://www.tolaris.com/apt/tolaris-keyring.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-query-browser
So, a big shout out to Tyler for doing this work!
Edit: You do need to execute sudo apt-get update before install. Thanks, Steve!
One step before sudo apt-get install is:
sudo apt-get update
Ah.. good point Steve. I’ll make an edit.
Thanks a lot🙂
Thanks dude!
Thanks a lot! I really like the simple client🙂
thanks
Thanks
thanks……..
Thanks A Lot,,Man,,,,I’m Looking,,,For This One,,,,From LongTime,,,,,,,,Thank You,,,
thanks dude but i didn undrstand one command..
wget -q http://www.tolaris.com/apt/tolaris-keyring.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add –
Is this a full command? how to execute this? Sorry but am not expert in ubuntu..So help me
@Kranthi it is actually multiple commands. The pipe (|) is a shell operation that links (or “pipes”) the output of the
wgetcommand to the input of thesudocommand. Thesudocommand is a wrapper that executes another command (in this case, theapt-keycommand) with superuser (“root”) privileges.Thanks….:)
Can you please help as I am pretty new to all of this stuff. I am trying to install the MySQL Query Browser
I have followed the instructions to install the mysql query browser, however I keep getting the following error “E: The list of sources could not be read.”
Here is a full listing

Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
What does line 60 of /etc/apt/sources.list actually say? I do not think the lines that were added was the problem, but maybe something existing before you ran the commands. You should be able to view and correct the problem.
Thanks for the reply.
Line 60 is deb http://www.tolaris.com/apt/precise main
Line 61 is deb-src http://www.tolaris.com/apt/precise main
Should been any extra on these lines.
