Aqua Data Studio (http://www.aquafold.com/) is pretty awesome, and does most of the above. It's far from cheap, unless you're comparing it to Toad. It connects to pretty much anything with a jdbc driver, and provides a relatively uniform interface - I use it regularly with postgres, mssql, oracle and teradata.

Tora is free, and open source, but a bit rough around the edges.

Aquadata looks like a very interesting application, I'm often surprised that there's so much support for database ddl and querying, but not so much support for actually doing something more with the data, like graphing and other visualisations.

And to plug my own little endeavour :-) if you're on Linux and are looking for a quick and easy to use Forms builder, here's my early beta http://www.data-forms-action.com/

Supports MySQL and Postgres currently.

If you are looking for sql graphing check out http://www.sqldashboards.com/ It supports MS-SQL, MySQL, Postgres and allows creating live interactive charts directly from SQL queries. There's also a command line interface for generating static .png images. Disclaimer: I make the software
