SQLyog on Linux

Run SQLyog on Linux with WINE. You can download the sqlyog windows installer and just run it with WINE. SQLyog is my favourite GUI client. It is lightweight and powerful. I use the community edition which comes free. The paid versions of the app are awesome. I particularly miss the autocomplete feature. This feature autocompletes table names, field names, query commands etc. on tab press. I have used the MySQL query browser, but there's no comparison.

The problem with SQLyog being that it runs only on windows :( . I tried alternatives - phpmyadmin, MySQL query browser - but none of them quite measured up against SQLyog. So I decided to try and get it working on my linux box ( Ubuntu Maverick - 10.10 ). I use Wine version wine-1.3.11 . Downloaded the latest installer from the community edition project page. Ran the installer with Wine and voila! That was it :)
