On Windows, I recommend using HeidiSQL, which handles SSH tunnels for you using PuTTY's plink.exe.

I like some of the HeidiSQL tools so much that I run it via WINE on my mac.

Be wary of Heidi and SSH tunnelling on windows - I'm sure the bugs have been fixed but I first hand realised that it re-used the tunnel for subsequent connections meaning you were not making changes on the database you thought you were - definitely caused some problems! However it is such a good client that I now use it on Linux under Wine :)

Found my original ticket! And yes, I truncated a few production tables :(
