I'm writing a cocoon-based database editor that uses castor (http://castor.exolab.org/) to do the heavy lifting. It _doesn't_ handle some important things, like many-to-many relationships or per-table permission checking, but they're on the way. I didn't get any feedback from my alpha release so I haven't bothered to package it up in a while, but I'll be happy to do so if you're interested. - donald
