Are there any programs with a gui which let you create a MySQL database, create tables, define the primary and foreign keys and insert data? I am tired of having to use the mysql command line client, very tedious.
I suggest you use phpMyAdmin. There is also MySQL Workbench.
MySQL Query Browser (MySQL)
pgAdmin III (PostgreSQL)
Allround Automations PL/SQL Developer (Oracle)
SQL Server Management Studio (SQL Server)
these app arn't free but useful :
SQLYOG
Navicat
SQLyog Community Edition. The Community Edition is Free & Open Source under GPL license.
If you happen to be using Mac OSX, I highly recommend http://www.sequelpro.com/ (it's free and awesome).
Toad is free and very powerful

We are trying identifying an alternative for MySQL
Since the Oracle takeover of Sun a commercial license is now needed for this product. We currently include the MySQL server, LIBMYSQL.DLL (C API) and JDBC driver (JAVA API) with our products.
We need to investigate alternatives that will not require commercial licensing. Options that we have:
Using an older version of MySQL pre-Oracle acquisition
PostgreSQL or MariaDB may be options
Any other options which satisfies our above requirements?
Can give us your suggestions?
To start from, how much is true that a commercial license is now required for MySQL? From the Oracle page it looks that next to commercial they also still have the GPL-licensed open source version.

Hi have installed MySQL on my local PC. I want a front end so that i have a GUI for creating tables, inserting values etc.
I know about SQLYOG but i don't know if its free/open-source. I want to use it in my office, so I can't use pirated stuff.
Any other tool for GUI?
I sometimes really like the MySQL Workbench. It's available free for all the major platforms (Ubuntu, Mac, Windows etc. and the advantage compared to tools like phpMyAdmin is, that you
have a nice environment for designing your database and not only a tool for querying
don't need to setup a Apache/IIS for running the tool
Use phpMyAdmin, it's open-source & has some great GUI features.
My choice is "Toad for MySQL". It is a freeware.
http://www.quest.com/toad-for-mysql/
try phpmyadmin.I think it is what you are looking for.
i would recommend one of standalone tools instead of setting up whole php/apache stack
i'm not using any of those but quick googling provides some options: mysql workbench, sql yog, sequel pro, heidi sql
I usually use phpMyAdmin if web access is required or I have LAMP stack setup, or otherwise I use MySQL Workbench.
At work I also use SqlDbx which is pretty awesome and does what I need.
I like to use this tool, it is a nice graphic interface that will generate the needed SQL when you save it. You can then just run the SQL on your database.

You can download the free version of SQLyog here: https://code.google.com/p/sqlyog/downloads/list

What does SQL Server Express offer that MySQL do not?
PS: I'm comapring the two free Editions (MySQL and SQL Server Express)
Good article but highly geared towards MySQL
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/move_from_microsoft_SQL_Server.html
Also a decent article but highly geared towards SQL Server
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/product-info/competitor-compare.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/compare-mysql.aspx
I am not a MySQL expert, but its capacity, features and performance are very much depending on the table type you select (InnoDB, MyIsam + others). It's like having different products under the same hood.
Your choice might also be impacted by the platform that will run the db: Sql Server will only run on Windows.
There are other free choices, like Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, DB2 and others.

Can you recommend a good MySQL stored procedure debugger?
Extra points if it is open source, and works in linux :)
It's neither open source (but freeware) nor works in linux, but Toad® for MySQL should be able to assist you in debugging stored procedures on a Windows client.
I have used SQLYog MySQL editor and it has some nice features. Unfortunately it does not really meet your criteria. There is a community edition though, so its half way there.
I don't know if this would meet your requirement but it's the only thing that comes to mind.
Edit: This may also be helpful but it doesn't quite meet either the free or available on Linux test.
Please try the following MySQL debugger that supports breakpoints, a call stack, a variables evaluation, watches of any routines (procedures, function and even triggers)
http://www.devart.com/dbforge/mysql/studio/code-debugger.html.
But, unfortunately, it runs only on Windows.
The best mysql debugger is in dbForge Studio for MySQL! (imho)
You can try Illatis StepIn, debug MySQL stored procedures in Windows and Linux. See this page: http://www.illatis.com/downloads/downloads.php.
Cheers

What is the best GUI for managing MySQL 5.1 installation? Would like something as close to SQL Server's management tools as possible as that's where my experience is. The management client would need to run under Windows (XP, Vista (32 and 64-bit flavors), and 7 (32 and 64-bit flavors).
I have been using SqlYog for about several years now and am very happy with it. It has the best interface I have seen. Navicat is good, but SqlYog is better. Plus there are several "power" features that come in handy like the query builder tab.
The Pro version is about $70 but there is a free community version.

If you also have a PHP/Apache server, you can user phpMyAdmin or SQL Buddy. Otherwise, the MySQL GUI Tools (Query Browser and Administrator) are good.
Check out MySQL Administrator and other GUI tools here.
You might want to have a look at HeidiSQL. It's free and fast.
So far the closest thing I've found is Navicat Lite http://www.navicat.com/
