MySQL Workbench is a unified visual tool for database management. It provides data modeling, SQL development, and comprehensive administration tools for server configuration and user administration. MySQL Workbench is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
We recommend using it instead of our Cloudways MySQL Manager for databases bigger than 200MB.
