For the web? *nix console? GTK? Mac?

pgadmin, phppgadmin - although these are pitched more towards admin,
they let you edit table data.

There are also lots of commercial admin/data tools that will work with
PG - check the announcements list and website.

MS-Access can link to PG via the ODBC drivers if you're interested in
Windows.

If you're interested in something slightly more custom, look at
ruby-on-rails or one of the other custom web-building systems. They all
let you do basic data editing quite quickly.

There's also the gnuenterprise.org project which is supposed to be
web+gui, but I've never looked at it in detail.

If you want end-users to be doing the data entry, Andromeda may be what
you want.

The project is aimed at more complicated cases and may carry too much
overhead for what you want, but perhaps not.

For Desktop applications on win32

Lazarus :http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/

Delphi Turbo Explorer: http://www.turboexplorer.com (use with ODBC or
Zeoslib http://www.zeoslib.net)

Sharp Develop: http://www.icsharpcode.com (use with npgsql .net data
provider)

For web based:

PHP and use NVU (http://www.nvu.com) to design the forms.

Netbeans IDE

There are probably many more

Glom (www.glom.org) would seem to fit the bill.

Their choice of "something like CSS" (e.g. - the HTML 'cascading style
sheets' language) as the language for representing data models seems
bizarre to me, but their goal of making the whole thing declarative
seems mighty attractive.

Is anyone using this for interesting applications?

PGAccess provides a spreadsheet like view of tables which users can type
data into, & works pretty well, it
does not have the admin functionality of pgadmin, which might be a good
thing in your case.

Perhaps a simple PHP data entry form for a web based tool.

I haven't tried these, but they may also work OK (on a Linux/KDE platform):

knoda http://www.knoda.org/
rekall http://www.thekompany.com/projects/rekall/

Maybe someome who has actually tried these could comment?
