Do GUIs for DBs exist?

Sure i'd like to hear about people delivering apps
such as the ones you can create with ms-access.

My understanding is that python is a wonderfull clean
environment to deliver pretty server-side servlets and
calculation-intensive apps of all kinds.

"Data-and-ui" -intensive apps are still very much of
a a win32 specialty with (not looking for flame here...)
vb6, vc,  delphi, vfp and others.

Python is possibly still missing the kind of data-driven
environment that you find in products such as ms access,
dbase, foxpro, paradox and other stuff.

Being an occasionnal user of those products i doubt that
these products could be replicabled in a python world
as they imply an intimate coupling between
the db-engine (generally a local one), a set of native
data-aware components and a scripting environment.

What would be welcome is some kind of generic model
for data-aware wxpython components including
dynamic data-grids, combos and others.

Anyone working on this?

My 2 cents.
