Response to: SQLite
SQLite isn't the same sort of thing; it's just a library for manipulating structured data files whereas MySQL is a database management server (which includes its own library doing kindof what SQLite does). So the tools on Tiger for manipulating SQLite are /usr/bin/sqlite3 and whatever Core Data app you're about to write in Xcode; there are no 'management' tools per se.

  I'm not sure what you're saying. It's all data whether it's managed by MySQL or SQLite. I'm not interested in how either or them does what it does. What I *am* interested in is managing my data. I agree that Tiger doesn't provide tools for SQLite other than the command line or Core Data, but it seems to me that there is certainly a place for a tool that allows users to manipulate SQLite databases created by the system. Things like Safari's RSS feeds and whatever Aperture does.

  There is, in fact, SQLite Manager:
