OpenOffice.org

OpenOffices's Base can be used as a front end for MySQL. Connecting to MySQL is a little difficult to setup. Even when you have got it talking to MySQL you may have problems in that OpenOffice may wrongly assume that you do not have write priveleges to a database and open it read only. There are workarounds for this problem.You also may have to set the character coding manually as Open Office is poor at detecting the character coding of the database.

Once you have solved these initial problems it should give you all the features you could want from a front end.
