LOTS of things out there, and I really don't want to download, install,

get some experienced feedback.
I've already tried out 5. I'm hoping for some good suggesstions... 
True and not true about comparing mySQL and SQL Server. Some of the
open source free stuff is beyond reproach. Although mySQL isn't a true
RDBMS, it is great stuff... however... like so much of the open source
stuff that comes out of the *nix community, it's about as user friendly
as a pack of rabid wolves hyped on meth. I guess that's why I really
don't pay as much attention to the open source stuff as I probably
should.
I checked out My SQL Front, but it's gone. 
MySQL-Front
Sorry, development on MySQL-Front has been discontinued.
More information about similar products and a
user-to-user discussion-board can be found here:

Drat. Oh well. But there is still a link to download the latest version. I'll give it a spin. 
Download.com led me to EMS MySQL Manager 2 Professional Edition,
which looks like it will do the trick. Actually, it looks really good.
Google led me nowhere because the ISP we use at the office is lower
than horse dung. Always connected, but only a 50% chance of a domain
name resolving. [ Getting a new one soon I hope... ]
I'm still looking though as I'd prefer to find a free one [[[
bracing for non-user friendly stuff ]]]... (Perhaps the one you
suggested will do the trick.
As for Oracle, I almost fail to see why anyone would ever need that.
Want it - yes. Need it - no. It's a demonic hell spawn monster capable
of doing a lot more than leaping Terabytes in a single bound. If god
were a database, his name would be Larry.
