Обсуждение: front-end to Postgres
Hi, I am curious what others out in the community are using as a front-end to Postgres. We are currently using Microsoft Access & Python CGI scripts. We would love to move away from Access, but haven't found an alternate that provides the same kind of rapid development of forms & reports. Our company loves to collect data so we have lots & lots of forms. There are only two of us & we have 7 servers plus 120 computers to maintain. Python has been great, but the CGI scripts take more time to develop & don't run as fast. What has worked we for others? Java? AJAX? PHP? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. We don't mind something with a learning curve. We use open source where we can (Fedora, Postgres, Bugzilla), but could probably talk management into spending money for a good solution. -- Karen Springer

WebObjects and its DirectToWeb technology enables us to have "Data collection applications for web users" up and running in a matter of days or one or two weeks what would take weeks to months with other technologies (our experience - YMMV). I'm currently building a tool for having "micro sites" with special features, Lucene integration, portal frontend, admin application, about 30 tables, lots of relationships. I started this week and it has to be online by Sept. 1st. We will see - currently I'm on schedule ... ;-) Ah, for the record: WebObjects is FREE. No fee to pay. Free development tools for Mac OS X, supported platform is Mac OS X, but it should run on every Java 2 capable platform. Recommended dev tools are Eclipse with WOLips (also free). I don't think it's really useful to do development on other platforms than Mac OS X, but it is possible. Deployment is free too. cug [1] http://www.apple.com/webobjects
