I see a lot of great tools here on EQEMu, but most are for windows. Are there any good tools that Linux users can leverage?

The PeqEditor?

Everything I do is either in the PeqEditor, HeidiSQL or Notepad++. Those are the only tools I have ever needed.

Thanks! Just making sure there isn't some hidden tool.

Since neither HeidiSQL nor Notepad++ are Linux tools, a couple things you might consider:

phpMyAdmin - While this isn't great for larger operations (because it's web-based and memory constraints come in), it's really good for general DB operations. Make sure you secure it.

MySQL Workbench - Not quite as good as HeidiSQL or Navicat, but workable on Linux at least.

Sublime Text - Pretty good text editor (if you can't/won't use vi/vim)

I was just referring to if your server is linux. I think more people run Linux servers with a Windows workstation than running both as Linux. PhpMyAdmin works but for many things I just do not like it, it can be painstaking.

I'm with you as far as the majority of the DB operations using phpMyAdmin, but it's pretty handy to get in and do one-off stuff when you're, well, wherever. :)

I've always had a Linux server with mostly Windows boxes on the client side (since that's what EQ runs on, after all), but I've done a bit on the Linux side too and just figured I'd share. I didn't mean to disparage you in any way. :-D

I was using my Macbook for a client until Workbench was untenable for me. Now back to PC for Heidi. Sounds like I need to get the PEQEditor up and running. Much obliged.

PeqEditor can do most of what I need. When it cannot I just drop to doing queries.
