I use LAMPP (XAMPP), which does a great and painless job managing MySQL  
with phpMyAdmin! You can find it @

mysqlcc is deprecated and no longer builds with v5, mysqlquery-browser  
doesnt build either but maybe thats a gcc issue who knows. the only one  
ive gotten working is mysql-navigator (also found a few new GTK ones  
that didnt build either), which is QT based but fairly primitive and the  
UI is slightly less than intuitive. PHPMyAdmin is clearly still the best  
choice if you dont mind bloating up your webserver a bit for this,  
besides interacting with the model/db directly via irb/console of course
