What language are you programming in?  For C/C++ I think Anjuta is
currently the leading IDE.  For C# there is MonoDevelop.

Take a look at Glade,  it lets you build most of the UI in a graphical
layout fashion and just specify the callbacks for widget events;  really
speeds things up.

If your Linux specific, and the client won't be portable to Win32, I'd
look at the GNOME-Db stuff for connecting to the databse.  They have
good support for all the major databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, and
Oracle.  And they provide allot of the plumbing for working with the
data dictionary, etc..
