Is there any way to install mysql client (Linux)?

Question

Are there any Linux mysql command line tools that don't require installing the entire mysql db installation package?

What I'm trying to do is server # 1 (application server), execute mysql commands that will execute on server # 2 (db server). I do not want to run db on a local server or install a completely exploded mysql db.

Answer 1

To install only mysql (client), you must run

yum install mysql 

To install the mysql client and mysql server:

 yum install mysql mysql-server 

Answer 2

under the assumption:

 sudo apt-get install mysql-client 

Answer 3

Just install the MySQL-client package.
