Does this object-oriented language or database exist?

I'm looking for an interactive, interpreted object oriented database
or language. I have searched vigilantly, but I can't find anything
that comes close to my vision. In it's simplest form, I would guess
that it could interpret source code like this from a
console/interpretter:

>> new class Animal;
>> new field String Animal.name;
>> new field int Animal.age;
>> bob = new Animal;
>> bob.name = "Robert The Tiger"
>> bob.age = 25;
>> new field String Animal.eyeColor;
>> bob.eyeColor = "blue";

... etc ... Of course, it would be nice to be able to save this
workspace to a file, etc, and have programmatic constructs. It would
be very nice if this system had a visual front end ( to edit objects
and classes as trees ), but this isn't necessary.

Does this ring any bells? Does anything like this exist? I know
there are object oriented databases (which seem to be only useful when
directly called from a programming language like java)... But I'm
looking for something more like a productivity tool (I could see it
being as useful as a spread***).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
