Sql Admin & Email apps?

Kevin Ar18
Basically, I am wondering whether someone has made the following in Smalltalk/AIDA/Seaside:
* An SQL/db administration app ... similar to phpmyadmin... or even better, similar to DabbleDB (http://dabbledb.com/demo/)
* An email app
* all open source
 
Now for the long details:

I would like to have some kind of app that allows me to manage a list of contacts in a database like fashion (where I can add new table columns and add new data to people).  Yet, at the same time, I would like to program in more features over time.  For example, I would like to integrate the database with a web based email system.  Instead of having one inbox, I'd have one inbox per contact in my database.  I can then add more features over time, like a notification if someone never responds to an email, and so on....
In fact, I eventually would like to extend the database aspect to have some visual views of the data and who knows what else.
 
So, I figured I could use a web framework.  Then take a pre-built sql admin app and a pre-built email system and combine the two with minimal effort.  In fact, if I was using PHP, that is exactly what I'd do; I would find the two apps and combine them, since it would save me so much time.
 
Are there any "PostgreSQL admin" apps or "email apps" already made using Smalltalk or would I have to build a sql admin and a browser based email all from "scratch"?
Has anyone done any work on an open source app similar to DabbleDB?
 
Or... perhaps, there is some other way that I can build what I need?  like a CMS?
 
Would it help if I explained the concept in more detail or if I asked this in a different mailing list?
 
Thanks,
Kevin

Note that DabbleDB doesn't use an SQL backend. Basically every session
gets an image.

Celeste is a single user Squeak email client. You might want to look
at putting a web front-end on it.

SQL will lead to ORM which will mean GLORP. If you are OK with
Postgres, you're OK in Squeak. Otherwise look at SqueakDBX. See
discussion this week on squeak-dev.

If you aren't wed to SQL, there are image + logging (like Prevayler).
See Ramon Leon's OnSmalltalk blog.

Also take a look at Magma. A good app to review is Gjallar (issue
tracker). Magma docs are on the wiki.

If you use an image (like Dabble) you'll just use objects and
collections. Save the image at critical points.

See Ramon's blog for a lightweight image-based solution:

http://onsmalltalk.com/sandstonedb-simple-activerecord-style-persistence-in-squeak

Magma will give you more complexity but more flexibility.

All of the above will use Smalltalk collections for adding, removing,
and simple querying.

Hi!

In short!
Have a look at www.query-vision.com.

It even gives you the abillity to implement small datavie and analysis apps.
So far as I know .csv, Access, MySQL, DB2 and Oracle are supported.
It's in development stage but steadily evolving.

Cheers!
Sebastian

RE: Sql Admin & Email apps?

Kevin Ar18
Indeed an app like query-vision or dabbledb would fit perfectly... but, and this is the kicker, it needs to be open source. :(  I would need to extend it to integrated with email so that I can even filter out emails for each contact.  Maybe even one day extend the app with some graphical visualizations to help keep track of all the contact relationships.
 
This would necessitate something open source, that I can edit....  and, for me personally, would need to be under an Apache, BSD, MIT, public domain license.  I do very much appreciate your response and taking time to offer some solution.  I don't suppose you know of an open source project that comes close?
