The library you are looking for is gnome-db. But ... I never managed to 
get it up and running against my postgresql database.

It simply did not do anything. Tried five times in two years. Gave up
(but decided to ask on the gnome-db mailinglist for a clue once I find 
time).

Gnome-db is well integrated into glade, but I never wrote glade-- 
support for it ...

If you manage to get it working, please tell me
