Is it difficult to log in to DB server via ssh and enable X11 forwarding: if you have Enterprise Manager installed in the server, just run it as any other program? Ssh is availabe for free from http://www.openssh.com/ and maybe from other places too.

Of course it means that you need to open ssh port for access at least from some addresses..but I would not consider that a huge risk.

I do the same, but stick with text-based tools. Works faster and is easier to use.
