What is everyone using for MySQL development on OS X? I have been using MySQL Workbench, but was wondering what fellow geeks are using?

+3  A: 

I ended up going with http://www.sequelpro.com/ (fixed it to work with mamppro by pointing it to the socket: /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock) - i originally went with workbench but i could not get it to connect.

I have heard great things about navicat and would like to try it but its pretty $$$

Same here. Using sequelpro and it's good enough...

I've had issues with it, prompted the switch to the less pretty Query Browser. CSVs with newlines, commas, and quotes seem to be malformed, large selects can crash it, and decimal/float columns often lost precision after their rows were edited. Some of these may have been fixed, though.

I use Navicat for mySQL and phpMyAdmin. Navicat costs a little bit, but I keep going back to it after trying all of the other options.

It does everything I need it to do including SSH connections, structure and data comparisons and user management.

My favorite, for being both free, and less buggy than its competitors, is MySQL Query Browser

I prefer RazorSQL - not free, but haven't found anything better on the Mac - especially if you use databases other than MySQL like MS SQL Server and Oracle.
