For RAD-style database design, check out OpenOffice.org Base. I
know it comes pre-packaged with Mandriva (which I use), but I'm not
certain about other distros. Depending on your flavor, you can
probably apt-get, yum, urpmi, or manually install from an RPM or DEB.
It works a lot like Filemaker and Access, so if you're familiar
with those, you should notice a lot of similarities. Plus, it will
work without a problem with MyODBC, Unix ODBC, JDBC, and native
connections.
For future reference though, Shawn, try sending to the PHP-DB list
when asking questions like that. Then it's not off-topic. ;-)
