Description:
MySQL has always made its command line client available for Linux... how about a pre-compiled binary for Mac OSX?  I commonly work on a PowerBook and connect to remote servers - the client would be most useful :-)

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
N/A

Hi Rob,

You can download MacOSX 10.3 versions from our download website on the following URL:

I saw that... mysql-standard-4.11.1-a-apple-darwin6.8-powerpc.dmg is available.  This installs BOTH the server and the client.  I don't want the server on my Mac - I only need the client.  Client-only installs are available for Linux - why not for Mac also?

As a workaround, doanload not the "dmg" package but the "tar.gz" and extract the client program. This way, there will not be an installation of components you do not want (need) on that machine.
