MySQL GUI Tools

Does anyone have any good ideas as to native MySQL GUI clients for Ubuntu?

So far I've tried MySQL Workbench, which never seemed to work properly, phpMyAdmin which I found a bit slow, and Navicat which is a windows port and runs under wine, but none of these is perfect. In an ideal world, I'm looking for something like a native version of navicat.

Any command line calculator for Ubuntu?

I am looking for a Calculator which can do calculations in the terminal itself without any other extra prefixes and suffixes.

For example: If I typed something like 10000-9000 in the terminal, the answer should come out as 1000.

Once again I am saying, I just need a quick calculator in terminal, without any characters added. I know if I switch to Python, it can do that but I don't want it in such a way.
