I usually use MySQL Query Browser for my queries, but I always run into issues with the connections timing out and the Query Browser locking up, so I'm looking into alternatives. The new MySQL Workbench is much too slow and heavyweight, I prefer that the Administrative tools and the Query tools are separate (although it wouldn't be as much of a problem if the application wasn't so slow). I run on Ubuntu 10.04 x64. I'd like to avoid Windows/Wine-based solutions as much as possible. I also have had bad experiences (slow, buggy) with JVM-based MySQL applications, although perhaps other people know more lightweight ones.
I want something lightweight that can show me the schemas, tables, and column tree, and present a decent UI for editing tables.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I realize you want to avoid wine, but this might be a good suggestion for you as a free tool.

Although it does run on Java and may not be the prettiest thing ever, I pretty much always use Squirrel SQL client. If you haven't tried it, I recommend looking at it.
Squirrel SQL Client
+1 for HeidiSQL. On Arch Linux very easy to install. Get tarball from AUR;
Extract tarball to a directory.
In that directory: makepkg -s
After building package, install it with: pacman -U packagename
It works perfectly with wine. After trying some sql editors (Oracle SQL Developer, DBVisualizer, MySql Workbench) this was the best choice for me. Lightweigth & fast.

I have a relatively large MySQL database (over 300 tables) which I desperately need to convert to PostgreSQL and synchronise data between the two databases if not real time then something close to it. Ideally I need a bi-directional data sync, or at least one directional - MySQL to Postgres sync.
I have managed to convert the database and import the data, but synchronisation seems to be a real problem.
This solution from DBConvert should supposedly do exactly that. After many days of trying to make it work I gave up. They don't even have a linux client which is strange considering that absolute majority of MySQL and Postgres database would run on linux servers.
Is there an alternative to DBConvert's solution that would do the same?
Check out Pentaho ETL tools Kettle and its client interface, Spoon. http://kettle.pentaho.com
boy, you have a job ahead of you in terms of bidirectional synchronization. This is hard on the best of days, and it poses a lot of problems.
The tool I would look at first, actually, would be RubyRep. This gives you a basic framework for replication between your databases, and it supports a number of RDBMS's.
The second thing you have to think about is what you are actually doing and why this is a really bad idea. Your biggest issue is conflict resolution and managing what happens if two different people update the same record on the different db's. This is not a trivial problem and it requires thinking through the actual workflows and scenarios carefully.

I know my question sounds a little bit like a shopping request, but I honestly believe that many people could find it useful.
I've been looking for an automatic tool that converts Data Definition Language from MySQL dialect to Oracle dialect - the other way round would also be fine. I found “SQL Fairy” but I was unable to run it; probably because I'm not familiar with PERL.
Is there any free tool for Windows that converts MySQL DDL to Oracle DDL?
This site really worked for me and it can convert a bunch of different DDL commands from Oracle, MySql, M$ Sql Server, Sybase and others. http://www.sqlines.com/online.
Please note the disclaimer below the tool:
Note. SQLines Online is a unrestricted version for EVALUATION USE ONLY. For use in projects, please obtain a license.
Oracle has web pages filled with information on this: Database Migration Technology which gives detailed instrctions and help for several different databases including MySql.
The main tool referenced: Oracle SQL Developer is free.

I am looking for a MySQL GUI for Linux (am Using Ubuntu 10.04). Don't need anything fancy -- just the ability to easily create databases / tables, be able to manually set values for table rows, run queries and see their results etc.
Any suggestions?
You could use MySQL Workbench :
it works on both Linux and Windows
There is a free / community version
It's a GUI, and includes, at least :
create / alter table using a graphical interface
run queries / see their results
And there are also features that will help you create a graphical table's model -- and it'll generate the SQL to create the tables of that model.
Take a look at Navicat Lite:
Link
Works on Windows, Linux, OS X
Free and payed version

I inherited a poorly created mysql database and now I need to migrate data to a new server.
Long story short, I need to keep it stored this way and I use phpmyadmin. Know of any tools to help the migration of this 1.2GB mysql table?
Hope I don't get slaughtered for this post...
MySQL Workbench (free as in beer, free as in speech) has dump and restore features.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-manage-server-data-dump-tab.html
Phpmyadmin and other admin tools also have those features, but web-based tools may not handle such a large table properly.
Dump your big table from your old server to a file on your desktop machine. Restore it to the new server. It may take overnight. So what? You only have to do it once (unless you mess it up the first time). Side benefit: you'll have a backup of your old table that you can put onto a DVD-RW and throw in your desk drawer.
You might have to segment the dump process by selecting rows a few million at a time. That's probably a good idea, because then you can restart the process if it crashes.
There are some tools (sqlyog) that can copy data from one server to another directly, as well.
Happy data wrangling.

If been using "dbForge Query Builder" lately and I'm gotten used to the ease of building and testing a query, specially for those complex ones with inner joins, aliases and multiple conditionals.
The expiry date of the trial is about to come, and while wanting to remain on the legal side for this I'd rather not pay the 50USD it costs (although I must say it's pretty cheap for what it does).
So my question would be: Are there any free alternatives to replace this visual query builder? I've failed to find any and fear that my only two options are paying for it, or going to the dark side.
You may try FlySpeed SQL Query. It has the same powerful visual query builder and it's free if you don't need data export and printing.
You should try SQLyog, it has powerful visual query builder. It is very easy and intuitive to use.
I have found SQLeo, which I will use to show my colleagues how to build SQL queries. It is Java-based, so it will run on virtually any platform.
You will also need to install MySQL's Java Connector for SQLeo to be able to connect.
Think of it in terms of how much money/time it will help you make/save in the long run. Consider it a business expense. Yes, there are other free query builders out there, but they all take time to learn/get used to. If your happy with this one I'd say go for it.
That aside there generally are several ways you can reinstall the program and get one more month out of your free-trial if your still not quite sure its worth it.
Try EasyQueryBuilder.
It requires some configuration for your database at start but after that it's very easy to build queries with this tool - even for non-experienced users.
dbForge has an express version for MySQL that is free. I use the express version for MSSQL all the time.
EASY QUERY BUILDER is anything but easy if you're using MYSQL. Building a connection is impossible and their documentation is nonexistent. Don't waste your time.
