A GUI might be nice occasionally but is only (to me) useful for bootstrapping a custom interface, which is what should really be deployed. That's something like 90% of the audience for Delphi and Visual Basic -- quick and dirty DB frontends.

It's really handy to be able to take a quick look at a database to see what the structure is like, how many tables, how many records, etc., etc. You can certainly do that with SQL (I do it regularly), but I do find myself remembering fondly how much easier it was to do in Paradox for DOS. Note that I'm not talking about an application-specific front end, that's an entirely different kettle of fish. -- your man pann

If you've got the correct requirements installed, give a try to phpMyAdmin (for MySQL) Does it make much sense to have a generic gui frontend to an SQL db? Usually you would want something specific to your database/application. It does to me. Ask yourself, does it makes much sense to have a generic SQL language, usually, you would want something specific for your database/application... ;) To me, it's just a different approach than command-line SQL statements.

1) Is there any frontend gui to postgres in Debian Hamm or Slink or Pota to? Install the tcl postgres package and you will get a tcl/tk pased frontend caled pgaccess. It is rather nice.
