Which Database are you thinking of? DBM files? SQL database? For SQL databases there 
is phpMyAdmin (for MySQL) and phpPgAdmin (Postgresql), but those are written in PHP. 
The functionality should be pretty easy to transfer if you look at php**Admin as an 
example. Maybe it could even be a whole lot better by allowing 'plugins' like the way 
DBI has database drivers..

I would be able to spend some time help testing/developing on a project like this, so 
if you want help just email me.
