well, Flex 2 is surely suitable for database oriented or data-centric application, you can check out the Flex Derby pages here:

lot of applications are data-heavy and co-op with backend technology closely, this is never an issue.
Judging from what you described (database-frontend, form-entry, CRUD stuff), Flex2 should serves you quite right, check out following topic in the livedoc/manual:
-RPC in Data Service: this is for data connection with backend using HTTP Get/Post, Web Service, XML or Remoting.
-FORMS: this is for creating user-input Forms, handling all the layout, required field, data validation and so on...
-Validator: there are various built-in Validators (email, credit card...) to check user-input data before sending back to server.
in my opinio, it's really a snap to build this kind of Form-Entry-CRUD-Stuff with Flex2 :-)

But most flex example apps are less database oriented and are often showy shopping carts. Is flex going to be good for what I'm after?Most examples have little data entry. I posted here about flex/flashcomboboxes for data entry/selection and didn't get much in the way offeedback.
I am most interested in the approach that is the most productive;
helps the most with data binding, wysisyg designers, error handling,
and so forth. I'm usually asked to create a lot of solid software in a
minimal timeframe, so my priority here will be to choose software that
simplifies the design/build cycle.
