Is there a way to only install the mysql client (Linux)?

Question

Are there any Linux MySQL command-line tools that don't require the entire MySQL dB installing the package to be installed?

I wanted to from server #1 (app server), I executed the MySQL instructions that will get affected on server #2 (DB server). I do not want to run my DB on a local server or to install the full-blown MySQL DB.

Answer 1

To only install MySQL (client) you should execute

yum install mysql

To install mysql client and mysql server:

yum install mysql mysql-server
