Knoda is very nearly an access clone and works with MySQL and PosgreSQL.
All in all a pretty sweet setup.

I think something based on true objectness, like Python or Ruby, would prove 
to have the flexibility and consistency that MS-Access lacks.

Most of the OOo tools do *more* than their corresponding MS-Office components, 
and I think this is a trend well worth continuing by producing `OOSql'. But I 
think there is a place for a good standalone tool, too.
