I doubt that. As far as I know Qt is just a GUI toolkit, meaning no support
for any databases or other backend-type stuff. That's why KDE has its own
large set of libraries built on top of KDE.

I haven't found JDBC drivers to be particularly big, have you?

Have you considered Python? If you used Python with the PyQt package and
appropriate DB drivers, you might achieve the right combination of quality
GUI, good database access, and light weight ... certainly lighter than Java.
Python's DBAPI is comparable to JDBC, and there are implementations of it 
for most popular RDBMS's ... for WinProducts like Access you could either 
use ODBC or ... I don't develop much on Windows so I'm not positive ... 
PythonWin or a COM interface.
