Toad for MySQLW is a great, freeware graphical databaseW tool available at http://www.toadsoft.com/toadmysql/Overview.htm. Toad for Oracle is an AMAZING commercial database tool which I highly recommend, and Toad for MySQL features the same type of graphical interface. Toad for MySQL isn't as slick as Toad for Oracle yet, but I imagine that over time it's going to be getting better and better.

With Toad for MySQL, you can connect to a database via the New Connection window shown below.
