title: Is there a way to only install the mysql client (Linux)?
body: <p>Are there are any Linux mysql command line tools that don't require the entire mysql db installation package to be installed?  </p>
  
  <p>What I'm trying to do is from server #1 (app server), execute mysql commands that will get executed on server #2 (db server).  I do not want to run the db on the local server or to install the full blown mysql db.</p>
