[SQL] [OT] Frontend recommendations
Hey postgresql gurus, I was just wondering, what kind of frontend do you recommend in 'bills (windows...)' environment? Is it better to use a tool like Qt from trolltech or is it better to use something like Omnis or Access??? What are you opinions best regards, Ries van Twisk ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org

From using Qt for graphical frontend. I have found the Sql bits to be extremly slow. So the plan is currently to stop using them and use the pqxx drivers. Change is not easy however! (Thats under Linux...) If you need a quick gui try pgaccess and the like. If you want to writea full gui pick you favoute language and there should be some postgres drivers (if all else fails there is always ODBC) somthing like perl or python may be nice and platform independant Peter Childs best regards, Ries van Twisk ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
