On the subject of databases, is there a good back end that could be used
and our code is only a front end for MySQL, SQLlite, etc. My idea is
most office users want a friendlier interface that hides many of the
details of database operation (it develops the actual query) and allows
relatively easy design, report generation, and data entry. 

I have been playing around with MariaDB/MySQL with MySQL-Workbench as
the GUI. This is probably more advanced than most office users would
need but is has some good ideas for graphical database design.
