Look into either Catalyst (if perl is your thing) or Ruby on Rails (if 
you don't mind learning Ruby). Both specialize in creating frontends to 
databases. In both cases, once you supply a minimum of information about 
your database, they should give you a default interface for searching 
and editing entries.
