I'm not talking truly monolithic here but I've been playing with netbeans a bit lately and it has a DB manager part as well - so I can code and mess with the dbs without seven hundred and fifty clicks about various screens. One thing I hope to do is some deep Ajax/php dbstuff to do things like wot I used to in Access - ie rapidly create front ends for real database backends (Access could do ODBC connections to real dbs last time I played) If MS/Adobe hadnt killed javascript development you could easily make and Access/Paradox type RAD that works in a web browser with one scripting/programming language. Probably still could if someone would stick GPL serverside javascript on apache.
