Hi, does anybody know some free tool for synchronization MySQL database (data and structure) like in Navicat for Windows ?

A: 

What functionality of Navicat do you need? There is a number of ways without that software to synchronize mysql. You can use the MySQL replication functionality or simply copy and paste the data files (if your using MyISAM tables it's just a straight copy) innoDB tables are a little more tricky.

If you just want synchronization would MySQL replication work for you?

I'm using Structure and Data synchronization. Sometimes Data transfer. I was just wondering if there is not any software like this for free. Found only HeidiSQL (which looks perfect but work worse).
