You might want to try my SQL Workbench:
http://www.sql-workbench.net
It will not auto-detect the key columns for updating the view, but it
will allow you to select them manually if needed (for update/delete).
Maybe I'll add automatic detection of the keys in the near future (if I
find the time)
It is written in Java (Swing) and thus should (and does) work on Linux.
Whether it qualifies as "decent" is up to you :)
