Thanks!

I've spent too much time on this same question.
what i've come up with is these two apps.

kexi2 (what i've chosen to use)
userbase.kexi (will import sqlite, but a pain)
and
knoda (personally have not installed)
-edit- I missed one: glom

Have you tried LibreOffice's 'Base' tool?

Yes. libreOffice and Calligra's Kexi will not (easily) do sqlite... but aren't bad for MySQL
They will allow you to create, but not manipulate an already existing sqlite db.

Thanks, I had never heard of DataKiosk... I thought Qt might do it.
