What I would find nice however, and I haven't seen it in years. But the Universe database (now held by IBM I believe) was packaged with a BASIC lang, and compiler. You could make really quick code (especially if you built up libraries) and train someone off the street since it was Basic. Nice thin apps, great for dumb terminals, and a 1st class DB in the backend.
Is there any Open source compiled basic with db libs? Then, assuming you don't have to have graphics, you get the ease of BASIC like VB/VBA, a thin client for terminals/term software, without the Access bloat.

Rekall. Works with PostgreSQL and MySQL, programmable in Python. You need something else to set up the design, like tora, but Rekall can do everything else. The source distribution is GPL'd, but you can get a commercial version if you'd like (similar to the MySQL license). www.rekallrevealed.org
