The easiest way to do this (easy as in you don’t have to write anything) is to use phpMyAdmin, which is usually installed by default on most hosting setups. Look in your provider’s control panel (cPanel or similar) for something either labeled phpMyAdmin, or labeled Databases or something like that. Some can be disguised or re-branded, but they are usually present in some form.
If you want to provide a client-friendly console, then this is definitely not that. Look on HotScripts or similar for something you can install and “white-label”. It’s a very well-solved problem.

I don’t think it provides any more than the handler itself but I haven’t much time investigating.
I have never used FTG. As long as they follow the conventions of ActiveRecord, then sure, you could roll your own very easily. Use Generate for that, it will reflect the database into a CRUD interface in one click. You could do that, put it behind a Basic Authentication password, and you’d be all done.

I’ll take a look at HotScripts
Couldn’t I also use a MAR control panel to manage things? Or would it need to tie into FTG?
I have been using Appnitro’s Mach Form. It’s not free but there is a lot features. You will need to set up a database and install the software on your server.
