Best software (or other) solution for modeling existing complex MySQL schema

Question

Hi Stack Overflow,

What's a good solution for modeling an existing and very complicated MySQL schema. Preferably with the following features:

• completely visual
• drill down on click
• shows keys, indexes
• gives sample data per field*

*as fields aren't always intuitively named

Thanks! Emile
