What front end are people using?

Hello,

I am wanting to know what tools people are using to build their front ends
to postgres.

Including MacOSX as a client would be nice also...

Thanx.

PHP would be a good way to go - any OS, as long as it has a nice web
browser :-)

I am using Python + PyGresql + wxPython.
Scripting nice & well performing user interfaces in next to no time :-)
Works like a charm on all Gtk+ capable Linuxes/BSD/Unixes as well as
Windows. AFAIK, should work on OSX too.

I use PHP or java servlets and/or jsp.

Sometimes I use java + JDBC.

And of course there's libpqxx, the new C++ frontend I'm currently working
on. Download from

I'm using ADA with binding PG-ADA and a 'thick' homemade ada package to
get a higher abstraction level.

Python + psycopg + wxPython. My assessment would be
similar to that of Horst, though I use psycopg as my
DB Interface. I prefer psycopg because it is designed
from the ground up for high performance in highly
threaded applications, which is important for me. It
also has some nice extensions over and above the
standard Python DBI, eg. per cursor commits. Python
is definitely the scripting language of choice for
it's clean syntax and ease of debugging (ie. greater
productivity) and wxPython (based on wxWindows) whilst
having a steeper learning curve than say Tkinter (and
sometimes a somewhat non-Pythonic feel) has a richer
widget set, a professional look and feel, and a
development team committed to Python support. Both
solutions are highly portable.
