I've just purchased a program called Servoy, it's commercial, but has a 90 day developer trial available. Not expensive. Will run on windoze, osx and linux (written in Java). Has it's own build in db, or will connect to almost any sql (I'm using it for a snail mail management package with mysql). Easy to use GUI frontend. Think of it as Filemaker on steroids.
