ZDatabaseTool is what you are looking for. You can find it at:

http://www.easyleading.org

There is a online demo of version 0.1.0b1. The current development
version is 
0.6.2b21 ;-)

The full featured Product including the Wizards will be released in the
next few 
days. Feel free to reply privately if you want me to send the current
source code 2U.
