Hi, I am new to postgresql. I have done some small applications with MS
Access. Are there some PG tools out there that can build applications like
MS Access does out there?
Thanks
Gary

MS Access works well with PostgreSQL via ODBC. Check
here: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc

There are no free/open source products which can be
said to do what MS Access does, although we hope that
pgAccess might do it. A recent recommendation on this
lists pointed to a commercial product:

I haven't tried it so I can't say.

Openoffice has a nice formbuilder which can be used to create Frontends
to any DB accisble by odbc. It claims to be as good as access, but with
the beneffit of all the power of Postgres or any other db engine. There
are some docs accessible from the OpenOffice->Databse website
