Question A tool to manage data requred

Hi All!

I'm trying to create a system allowing end users manage information about goods in different branches of business. Such goods described with a different fields and also, the number of types of that goods growth from time to time, so that they cannot be stored in a single table.

For example, we have a drugs with their name, producer, package and form of issue, as well as WHO ATC classification. And also have some cosmetics with it's own set of fields, say: name, produces and Word-Cosmetics-Organization classification.
I'd like to have a tool (like an application over some SQL engine) to manage this entities. The tool should allow a user to add new types of goods, new classifications etc. withowt user have a need to write SQL code itself.

Could you suggest something useful for a situation like this? Are there a known tools for this job exist?

Thanks for your help!

That's all meta-data, it's obnoxious. Basically you're talking about creating tables to define tables. Hit up google with "Metadata Modelling". You should get some good stuff there.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try to search some. But I trying to find a tool that allows end-user to manage both metadata and actual data itself. It shouldn't look like a CASE tool.
