Hi Horacio,

you might want to have a look at KNIME:

     http://www.knime.org/

Certain functions from CDK (and other Chemistry Toolkits) can be used 
within Knime.

With Knime you can:

     read from database -> comvert data to Molecule objects -> do stuff 
-> export or report result

Best Regards,

Joos
