I'm not affiliated with this project, just caught my eye.<p>It's not a full-fledged PHPMyAdmin alternative (yet). Interface seems non-intimidating and immediately usable, so for that it might be handy for basic MySQL needs.<p>Not open source. But free for non-commercial use, $25 otherwise. If it inspires an open source MySQL GUI to think critically about UX then that would be just great.
Webmin includes a very competent MySQL administrative module (likewise PostgreSQL), though until we release the new UI, it seems a little clunky (better than phpMyAdmin, IMNSHO, but still old school web 1.0 style).<p>Extensive documentation, including screenshots:<p><a href="http://doxfer.com/Webmin/MySQLDatabaseServer" rel="nofollow">http://doxfer.com/Webmin/MySQLDatabaseServer</a><p>And, for the folks running PostgreSQL, and don't like being in the ghetto without good GUI tools:<p><a href="http://doxfer.com/Webmin/PostgreSQLDatabaseServer" rel="nofollow">http://doxfer.com/Webmin/PostgreSQLDatabaseServer</a>
I've done a little SQL console with syntax highlighting fro my own needs.<p><a href="http://github.com/slim/bazdig/tree/master" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/slim/bazdig/tree/master</a><p>you need PHP5 and PDO_SQLITE though
phpminadmin is another alternative. one file, many functions, open-source. <a href="http://phpminadmin.sourceforge.net/phpMinAdmin.php" rel="nofollow">http://phpminadmin.sourceforge.net/phpMinAdmin.php</a>
