Not particularly difficult. But Glom uses only four field types, so
you'd need to make some changes to the database.

Then you'd need to create a .glom file with the database and table
information. Then you could use the Glom UI to create the field titles,
layouts, formatting, relationships, etc.

It's not a feature that I plan to add to Glom itself, but the XML file
format obviously makes it possible.
