Ok, I see your point. What about if we continued and made the nautilus
view to show some database objects (tables, views, sequences and some
user-defined queries) once a datasource is 'enterer into' and then allow
the user to modify data from  within nautilus in the same way they can
modify the files names within a directory?

That could be a quick way to manage data. What do you think?
