There is some interest to integrate CayenneModeler tool with Apache
DdlUtils to extend our current "drop/create" capabilities with
advanced schema management features:

I thought I'd mention this, as CayenneModeler (which is distributed
under Apache license) can be one possible platform for a wider DB GUI
project @apache, integrating ORM and DB management capabilities.

If somebody wants to champion a completely new GUI project for
Apache DB, they'd be welcome to speak up. It'd be interesting to
see if enough volunteer interest could be drummed up to sustain
such a project.
But I'd like to point out that the Apache DB project already has
useful software that could be used in such an effort.
For example, several DB subprojects provide persistence layers
(torque, ojb, jdo) that get used by other Apache projects (as well
as projects outside Apache) and that could be used for building
such a GUI. And, of course, ddlutils provides services that can be
used by these (and more).
