Обсуждение: What is the right interface???
Hi, I'm new in Postgresql and I need to make a simple user interface (input/query form). I don't know python, java, tk/tcl, OpenGL or perl, altough I'm a fairly good C/C++/shell programmer. What I want to know is if any of you can recomend me to start learning any of those langages or other, in order to finish this work as fast as possible. I will use it in a Linux box which I'll administer, so there is no problem on which language/tool I choose. I don't want to consider to program a simple cgi because they're not dynamic enough, as I need the user to enter data fast (using keyboard is always faster than using mouse, and html input boxes sometimes can only be accessed by mouse and cannot input many rows at once, have always to push the "back" button). Any ideas?? Samuel

From my point of view Tcl/Tk would be the fastest (for development) thought powerfull interface to PostgreSQL because it offers also a nice and easy to handle GUI interface. Source is "open", can be easility viewed by others, if not compiled with tcl/tk compilers. PgAccess ( http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess ) proves it ! For cgi programs I'll vote for perl for it's power and versatility when GUI isn't needed. Also python could be a strong alternative. Java would be of course the "master" of interfaces, when portability would be your first goal. You have the choice ! -- Constantin Teodorescu FLEX Consulting Braila, ROMANIA
