There are a number of form type things around. One is KMySQL (I think it's called KSQL now) that has a pretty interface. I can't get it to work though, because only root can login. Somehow it uses priveleges in a completely different way from mysql itself. Weird. GNOME-DB looks good, but I haven't tried it. Making pretty forms in Perl/Tk is quite easy. There are a few on freshmeat. None are very good, but then the whole idea of open source is that you can make it just right yourself.

You didn't say anything about that...
You should look at one of two tools (that I have personally used) for DBA, face and phpmyadmin. I don't know about the former, but the latter is available on freshmeat. The interface is up to you, but I would recommend something written in PHP.
Not that I know anything at all, but you have clearly exposed your newbie-ness by requesting a form designer. MS consumer/light-duty products like Access have form designers; Real Work (tm) databases do not. If a pretty form is what you're after, I'd recommend building the database with a real SQL engine (such as MySQL/mSQL/PostgreSQL) and then attaching to it with the StarOffice database tools. StarOffice is in the [pay] series on the SuSE CD's.
