I saved this bit on WDBI. I downloaded it but it didn't
support Oracle out of the box. Adding that seemed pretty
straight forward (well documented anyway) but I was sidetracked
before completing it. There is support for some other common
DB's.
Here's a bit from the original thread.
I am currently using "WDBI", Web Database Interface. A set of perl
scripts that seem to work real nicely, at least for me. It took me
about 3-days to figure it all out, but now have it tuned for just what
I need. And you can definately control the mucking, and what tables
and/or fields that may be read only as well. You can get it at:
http://www.wdbi.net - There is also a working sample available there
which is what sold me on it.
Good Luck!

You might want to take a look at OracleTool for some ideas, particularly if
you're working with Oracle:
Alternatively Thomas Eibner's idea of adapting PhpMyAdmin sounds good. You can
find out more about that here:
=> http://phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/index.html
There is a Sybase version too, here:
=> http://kenny.itlab.musc.edu/phpSybaseAdmin/
If you do write an Oracle driver and create phpOracleAdmin, can you let me
know! :-)
You can find some interesting stuff on connecting php to Oracle here:
=> http://www.php.net/manual/ref.oracle.php
HTH a bit 8-)
