You certainly can automate the process of creating scripts to handle data
manipulation for tables. The approach we've used is to build a script which
generates other scripts, rather than to build a one-size-fits-all script for
editing any table. You can download it from
http://www.figleaf.com/figleafhome/cfug/cfugoct.zip. It's written to be used
with SQL Server, but the approach could be used with a little modification
against other databases.

There's also a product called Database Blocks, which is a commercial product
which does the same kind of thing, although I expect it's quite a bit more
polished! I haven't used it myself, but I've heard good things about it, and
it's only $79.
