Free or Open Source Database Schema and Data Viewing Software?

Question

Hi

does anybody know of a tool that will allow for viewing of database schemas and the data within it? Im using a Mac and need to view a mySQL database. Basically something like phpmyadmin that runs as more of a stand-alone app and can connect to any mySQL db.

I have found Aqua Data Studio but it is too expensive.

Thanks for any suggestions

The best stand-alone graphical Windows mySQL client is HeidiSQL. There is a Java version in the late Alpha stage that runs on OS X and is, if probably not usable yet, definitely worth keeping an eye on: jHeidi
