Does MySQL have support for views like SQL Server etc? Or is there a client utility available for this?

Nope to both questions.
many people consider views to be convenient but not absolutely essential.

Has anyone come up with a third party tool that gives you a visual representation of a MySQL database?
IE: such as Visual Interdev or the Access realtionships diagram.
