want to be able to explore the schema, run stored procs and run SQL statements.
A:
I am using for quite a while now DbVisualizer. It does all the things you mentioned. It runs on all platforms (since it is Java based) and connect to any database you have a JDBC driver for. The basic version is even for free, even though it is worth getting the commercial license.
Of course it is not a full blown db admin tool, but that's not what you have been asking for ;-)

Check out Navicat and MySQL Workbench (if you are working with MySQL). If you are using PHP and MySQL, I would recommend using PhpMyAdmin as it's completely cross platform and works anywhere you are, ie, no install required.
