It would be great to be able to have a version of MySQL Workbench that works from a mobile phone/tablet to be able to connect to the database when out of the office.

N/A

Suggested fix:
N/A

I'm all for it. We need people to list here what they would like to see in such a mobile version. Some ideas:

- Model viewer (no editing).
- SQL Work, visual explain, simple form data editing.
- Status checks, user management, connection management

Hey everyone! I stumbled upon this bug report and I must say, it really resonates with me. As anybody who frequently works on the go, having the ability to connect to my MySQL database thru a mobile phone or tablet would be a game-changer. It's irritating when I'm away from the office and need to access and control my database, but I'm limited by the desktop-only model of MySQL Workbench.

To address this issue, I would suggest the developers reflect onconsideration on adding a mobile/tablet version of MySQL Workbench. This would allow customers like us to stay connected and productive even when we're not at our desks. I agree with it would greatly enhance the flexibility and convenience of working with MySQL databases.

That's what we plan with our new tool MySQL Shell for VS Code (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Oracle.mysql-shell-for-vs-code). Currently it embeds a web page on a tab in VS Code, but is designed to run also in a browser. Though it will take a while yet to make it ready especially for mobile browsers.
