Open Source Options for Creating Database Forms

I would like to move some users from MS Access to open source, for example MySQL, Postegres or even SQLite. Transferring tables from one database to another is not a problem, but I also need to provide them with a similar interface that uses MS access forms that are used to enter data. In addition, I would like to provide them with good reports that reference a table or query.

What open source alternatives are offered / available for easily creating and storing queries, forms and reports like MS Access, without the subtleties of programming needed to run them quickly?

Obviously, I immediately set my sights on alternatives to Windows, but I don’t want to limit the offers to just one OS.

We also had to solve this problem and considered OO Base not a very good option (note that this was 4 years ago). Thus, we use MS Access as an interface with connecting ODBC to mysql database. It works quite well.

Open Office - Base seems like a good option
