What is "heidisql"

HeidiSQL, previously known as MySQL-Front, is a free and open source client, or frontend for MySQL (and for its forks like MariaDB and Percona Server), as well as Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL. MySQL-Front was implemented by the German developer Nils Hoyer, who stopped mysql-front after MysqLab infringement issue about the use of name MySQL. Mysql-Front reappeared under the name HeidiSQL developed by German programmer Ansgar Becker and a few other contributors in Delphi. To manage databases with HeidiSQL, users must log in to a local or remote MySQL server with acceptable credentials, creating a session. Within this session users may manage MySQL databases within the connected MySQL server, disconnecting from the server when done. Its feature set is sufficient for most common and advanced database, table and data record operations, but it remains in active development to move towards the full functionality expected in a SQL database frontend.
