I know where you are coming from, but Oracle Database 10g does automatically back itself up - admittedly you need to put a tick in a box requiring this, and HTMLDB very nearly creates web sites out of thin air, and jpub very nearly creates code out of web services (except I can't get it to bloody work.)

It still doesn't make the coffee though, despite having that java in the database logo.
