I prefer Interbase just because I don't like the way mySQL handles user
authentication. It's rock solid and runs plenty fast. I use IBConsole or
QuickDesk to do simple table definition and ERwin for complex projects.
Some complex stuff requires generating a script and then running the script
from isql.exe.
