Is the 'old' MySQL now called "Community Server?"

All I can see on the downloads page is

MySQL Community Server.
MySQL Cluster
MySQL Workbench
MySQL Proxy
MySQL Connectors

So which one is it? Doesn't look like any of them to me.

I suspect that's the case. I imagine that you can choose from the 'Community Server' (with limited support from the community) or some kind of "corporate edition" where they charge you a squillion pounds a year for their "enterprise level" support.

Hopefully if you download and run the installer, you'll get an option to install client tools only - a bit like you do with MSSQL.

Trouble is getting the Linux box onto ClientCos VPN. More hassle that it's worth. I have an XP lappy on their VPN so the easiest thing is to try and get the windows command line client installed.

Cannot see it anywhere on their site though. Girly "GUI" tools yes, manly "command line tools" have been removed.

Or install a virtual machine on the XP laptop and run Linux on it.
