It's going to be harder, since you are looking for a tool to a closed
source database (sybase --> ms sql?).  If you can run either MySQL or
Postgres, the sf.net projects PHPMyAdmin and PHPPgAdmin are very well
written and robust (and very similar to each other).  There also maybe a
port of either of these to Sysbase.  Usally closed source databases
include a gui managment tool (though maybe not web enabled), so there
probably isn't alot of draw to rewrite one.  I'm sure there would be a
few commercial packages for what you are looking for however.
