I'm not affiliated with this project, just caught my eye.

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.

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.

phpminadmin is another alternative. one file, many functions, open-source. http://phpminadmin.sourceforge.net/phpMinAdmin.php

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).

Extensive documentation, including screenshots:

And, for the folks running PostgreSQL, and don't like being in the ghetto without good GUI tools:

Yep, looks promising. Really like that you don't have to configure anything. Just upload, enter user/pass and works.
