PHPMiniAdmin is a raw and light alternative to phpmyadmin. In 10Kb you will find very basic features such as database table visualization, import and export and a textbox to write sql queries. It was usefull in one project where it was not possible to access the DB from remote and phpmyadmin was not installed on the server.
When it is possible to access DB from localhost I use Sequel Pro a free software for Mac OS that works really well.
