Hi,

Currently there is nothing in the libs for that. A widget that is similar
to your needs is the QListView.

Frederick Bilhaut and I are currently writing KSql 2.0 (formerly known as
KMySQL). It will include a library with widgets and classes for direct database
access. The database access is done via plugins. Currently there are plugins
for MySQL, mini-SQL, PostgreSQL und Sybase. I'm working an an ODBC-plugin.

If you want to help, mail me personally.


Ciao,
Michael
