This is a Heroku buildpack that installs and adds just the mysql binary (v5.7) from the mysql-client-core deb package, which will be available in $PATH on your Dyno.

Note: tested compatiblity with heroku-18 stack, it might have issues with different versions

• via heroku cli:

  $ heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/stebogit/heroku-mysql-cli
  $ git push heroku master
