MySQL-Front (http://www.anse.de/mysqlfront/) - The best MySQL GUI to my
knowledge... unfortunately, it has been discontinued and the author hasn't
even left a copy for download on his website [but you can probably find a
link in the MySQL-Front forum (http://mysqlfront.venturemedia.de/) or on a
search engine].  It's free, extremely reliable and has very professional
interface.

MyFrontEnd (http://www.denkmair.de/myfrontend/) - The offspring of
MySQL-Front.  When MySQL-Front was closed, several developers began working
on their own MySQL GUI.  It's at version 0.27b right now, but I have never
used it myself, so try it at your own risk.

HTH,
