There are some options for GUIs. TOAD (Tool for Oracle Application Developers) is one of the better ones, but is moderately expensive. From my experience you’ll still want to know the bare-bones way of doing things in order to tweak and troubleshoot problems.

Of course other database management systems have other products. MySQL has quite a few options, most of which are web-based.

Out of curiousity, is there a GUI program that allows you to add tables and stuff? Sort of like a cross between VB and MS Access? So, you can create tables and stuff with a program similar to MS Excel, but build a GUI that works similar to VB, but is SQL compliant?

To add a constraint to a table that already exists the syntax should look like this:

alter table name add (constraint pk_name primary key (id));

The part in the parens should look the same as the constraint line in the create table command.
