I think you answered your own question: there are a lot of db-
management tools out there. Each of them is specific to the database
backend it is designed for, since the tools needed to manage a MySQL
database would be different than that needed to manage a PostgreSQL
database. So there would probably be no way to create a generic, one-
size-fits-all tool that could handle all backends, and even if
something like that could be created, there is no way it could come
close to what the dedicated tools can do.
