I think that used to be Microsoft Access, but as a product I think it lost focus on the easy transition. I remember as an intern using a pre-Microsoft FoxPro (all text GUI) that was so easy to setup as an app backed by a database with CRUD forms & reports.

I used FoxPro too (text based and windows). I liked a lot the command approach to access the database.

I don't see something as much convenient in nowadays softwares. All are based on multitiers, SQL and frameworks.
