If you're using MySQL, you should checkout MySQL Control Center. It's the MySQL Administration client you've been looking for. It says it's cross-platform, but also notes that it doesn't support OS X at this point. I downloaded and installed it on Windows and it seems to work pretty well. Installed and worked in about 10 seconds, which is always a determining factor. You can also checkout these screenshots.

This leads me to believe that if we are going to use a framwork, we should probably use Open Business Engine or Open for Business' workflow component - simply because I like standards.
