Generic table management (minor)
* select table,uid CRUD
* list table, filtered by search word (like in list module)
* select columns to show
* print as csv list
  choose either uid, names or both for related elements
  e.g. csv export from backend always displays names, but this cannot be
  imported later again

Install/ maintenance stuff (more important)
* set/unset/display all TYPO3_CONF_VARS
* run core update (install tool)
* run db compare from cli
* run broken ext check
* run opcode cache clearing
* run cache clearing
* set preset
* create DB dump without temp tables
* create DB dump without temp and user tables (for test systems, etc)
  we will need a new setting to keep track of those tables
* DB update for single extension

I would focus on maintenance stuff first and do the table management later 
on.

CRUD might be more fun with a PHP console.


BTW, what format shall be used for CRU operations? CSV, JSON or XML?

Best regards
