Re: Front End Languages for PostgreSQL

Performance is really the bottom line for us. Would you like to qualify your opinion further, using that 
as the criteria?

    I think this has more to do with the demands of the language, I have
    used it with both PHP, Python and C++. I prefer python (mod_python for
    apache)  and C++ but this has nothing to do with the postgresql binding,
    but a lot about the language.

    Hmm, I think the DB (binding) is of no relevance regarding choice of
    language. The software model you are (planning to) using are more
    relevant, like :  will you need a OO class model, and do you prefer
    exceptions for future error handling. The last thing to consider is the
    performance demands, but the DB binding has nothing to do with this.
    
    Hope this helps ...
