Re: GUI Tools For PostgreSQL

With regards to GUI tool kits, there are two kinds you are talking
about.  One kind is an administration gui with or without design
capabilities like pgaccess.

The other is a 3GL or 4GL or script language GUI like forte (used to be) or TCL
to develop forms for a database application. *Our* strength is that we work
well with a lot of client development tools.  However, I don't know of any
that are integrated with the system catalog.  I'd sure like a gui tool
that can throw up a form based on a view or table and just do the right
thing.  There may be something close like gnomedb, but I've never been
able to get one to work (that I didn't write myself :-).
