Hello. I am looking for a development tool for working with MySQL Database. The must have features include reverse & forward engineering capabilities. One that I've liked is "ModelRight for MySQL" but it is weirdly overpriced. So I am looking for something free/open source or at least reasonably priced.

NaviCat for MySQL is an awesome tool for managing MySQL. It's the best I've ever seen. ~ $300 per seat, but if you are in business, well, well worth it. They have a 30 day trial.

It has database diff and sync, so that may cover your forward and reverse engineering...

I've come across "MySQL Workbench". Check: http://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/ It comes with GPL & Commercial licenses. The tool suffices my needs as of now. The commercial license is for $99 which is acceptable.
