If you do not mind using a different implementation of SQL standard, you can use Postgres. Then you can use pgadmin http://www.pgadmin.org/. It is really powerful and simple to use. Here is a link describing the differences between the two implementations: http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/MySQL_vs_PostgreSQL.
