I am looking for a relatively basic way to browse a MySQL database. I need to be able to connect to a remote database located at x.y.com. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and am able to connect via terminal but am looking to use a simple GUI. Note: I need to connect with SSL.

Which o/s are you using? Should the solution be free, or do you have a budget? The more information you give, the more that we can help you.– Mawg says reinstate MonicaFeb 18, 2015 at 8:59

1Welcome to Software Recommendations! You just need to connect, not more? Ah, and browse? That's a little broad. Could you give a few more details what features the GUI should offer? Must you be able to view structures (i.e. "reverse-engineer" CREATE TABLE etc., see triggers/relations like foreign keys), or just "see what's in the tables"? Do you need to add/edit entries? What else might be relevant? You might wish to check this meta-discussion for hints on how to improve your question for the best chance on good answers :)– Izzy ♦Feb 18, 2015 at 9:35

You can do that with the official MySql Workbench.
You can also do much, much more, so why choose anything other than the official (and free) tool?
