I'm using MariaDB instead of MySQL in Slackware 14.1, and I need a graphic manager like MySQL Workbench. Can anyone suggest me something? I tried using MySQL WorkBench but it could not connected with MariaDB.

The MariaDB FAQ has the following topic covering exactly this question, titled: GUI/Workbench for MariaDB Aria?.

There are many GUI tools that work with MariaDB, such as Webyog/SQLyog, HeidiSQL, and of course, MySQL Workbench.

We know some tools have received requests and/or are working to add support for MariaDB and Aria-specific features (SQLyog, for example). Until your preferred GUI tool supports MariaDB and Aria-specific features directly, most of the tools provide a mechanism for editing and executing custom SQL code.

One of the comments also suggested this tool:

Devart dbForge Studio is a universal MySQL GUI tool. dbForge Studio for MySQL v.6.1 now works with any MariaDB database servers, and supports all MariaDB objects types. You can visually design database structures, execute SQL queries and scripts, and manage MariaDB users and their privileges.

I even asked about this issue here: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/129444/mysql-workbench-cannot-start-ssh-tunnel-manager But the answers were not useful! Could you help me? – Patterson May 19 '14 at 18:06

    MySQL Workbench has been horribly broken for 3+ years and does NOT work well with MariaDB 10.x. I just tried this today and it has no support to even BUILD against a MariaDB 10 client. If you take binaries built against MySQL 6.x or 5.x, and try to connect, it will warn, and connect, and then whole areas of the app do not work, including most of the stuff under the Server menu, such as the Users and Permissions. – Warren P May 15 '16 at 15:01

    @WarrenP More like 4 years now. – sitilge Feb 06 '17 at 21:29
  • More like 8+ years. MySQL workbench for MariaDB in 2021 is worse than ever: slow, unstable, crashes and burns on almost every table alteration attempt. The other two suggestions are not only proprietary, but also Windows-only. – mae Sep 16 '21 at 09:04
