I have been using the MySql Query Browser and [opinion]it has to be the worst UI that I've seen for anything. Ever.[/opinion] But it's free, so it's great and I love it.
Can anybody recommend any better, free tools for MySql DB admin? I want it to run on my local machine and not in a browser, if possible...
Edit: I'm on Windows, but if something works on OSX, Windows and Linux, that would be great...
Edit: I chose a best answer based on my preference after testing. Navicat (PC, Mac, Linux) was best, HeidiSQL is great too (perhaps more complete, but the UI is a bit clumsier), and the rest are relatively annoying (again, for what I need in a UI)... this is pretty subjective, but I think if you try them all as I did, you'll agree with my top two choices.
Edit: After actually trying them out working, HeidiSQL is the best. Again, it's my opinion...

MySQL Query Browser is a cross-platform GUI client program that's intuitive and easy to use. It provides a graphical interface to the MySQL server for querying and analyzing data. It's similar in style of use to MySQL Administrator but is oriented toward accessing database contents rather than server administration.
Go for HeidiSQL. It's free, easy to use and does practically everything you may think of.

What platform do you intend this for?
There's sort of a rule that MySQL GUI clients must all be buggy, but navicat is still much more reliable than MySQL Query Browser in my experience. (Just get the free edition.)
