I would also vote for VMWare.
As for a database design suite, check out theKompany's Rekall application. I'm
not sure if it will do all you want (how do you define 'design suite'?) but
I've used it a couple of times and it supports Postgres and MySQL. The newer
version (not yet released?) will run on Linux _and_ Windows and theKompany
offers free upgrades. They also offer a Zaurus version that I have used.
Quite recommended, especially if you know python (Rekall can run python
scripts). You can get it for $70 at http://www.thekompany.com/products/rekall/
