Webapp from an existing database to manage digital collections

Hi. Is there some software to create a site from an existing database? It would inspect your database and automatically create pages, user interfaces, administration forms, multiadministration rights, file uploaders, etc.

Lol. You could always develop plugins to extend features.

I've just learnt about omeka.org : http://omeka.org/codex/Plugins/CSV_Import_2.0
That's the kind of software I had in mind, aiming at digital libraries (thread name edited).
Anything else you may recommend?

@kilele: Omeka looks like it could be pretty nifty for what you seem to be looking for. Have you trialled it? Might be worth a go.
There's some useful stuff comes out of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media - https://chnm.gmu.edu/
For example, if you look at their Research + Tools page, you'll see the range, including Omeka and one that I have been increasingly making use of - their info manager, Zotero.

@IainB
I haven't tried Omeka yet though it has only a csv importer and I'd prefer a sql importer.

Vufind.org is another one with a robust user interface for searching. I think It can only import xml

Portofino.manydesigns.com looks like what I'm interested in but seems to have payware features
