Specifically I'm looking for a native Linux program that is similar in functionality to Navicat or SQLYog. I.e. I need something good at editing data. Free would be best, but not essential.

phpmyadmin? (phpmyadmin.net) – knittl Mar 25 '10 at 20:01
I think he's looking for a desktop app rather than a web based one – gacrux Mar 25 '10 at 20:03
yea..I'd like an alternative to phpmyadmin..definitely a desktop app. Something similar to the apps I mentioned – jim Mar 25 '10 at 20:06

squirrelsql my favourite although I am a netbeans user. You only need the jdbc driver jar. See the screenshots. There are a lot of very useful plugins where you can copy the entire database, view the relations graphically etc. (independent of the db, of course)

Also take a look at this and that question.

MySql Workbench for MySql DBs

Thanks for the suggestion. I do use Workbench for visually modeling my database relations. However, I found that it is terrible at data management (editing data, viewing rows etc.) – jim Mar 25 '10 at 20:08

I like Squirel SQL, the universal SQL client. Not pretty, but does the job.

Come on, it's not that bad... it's even reasonably pretty for an SQL client. – sleske Dec 29 '10 at 0:03

CrunchyFrog. Cross-database, cross-platform, and decently powerful.

Never needed such tool, but I have noticed that NetBeans IDE which I'm using for code editing seems to have pretty decent UI for basic database operations.

http://db.netbeans.org/

And I strongly suspect Eclipse community has similar plugin.

I wrote an database design application dbwrench. Although it is not a native Linux app it will run on Linux. It isn't free either, but I think it is reasonably priced.

Though I already upvoted a SquirrelSQL answer, if you use Eclipse you may also like SQL Explorer (http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net/)
