I (finally!) downloaded OpenOffice 2.0 and it includes a database front 
end.

A quick run through worked without issue (create table + form, enter a 
record), and revealed the following features:

    - create table wizard

    - create form wizard

    - support for a wide range of backends (MySql, JDBC, flat text, etc)

    - Windows, Linux, OSX support

    - Free Software
