Considering using the firefox SQL extension combined with XUL to create a web
application to access a database in PostGreSQL, wondering if anyone has
attempted this, and how it turned out?

Hello,

I have played with it. It was very cool but we haven't put it towards
an actual application yet.

I have had a look at this also - although development appears to have
stalled somewhat the idea looks pretty great.
postgresql > apache > xul/sql/mozilla seems like the makings of an ideal
n tier platform.
Hopefully Jan Varga has not moved on to greener pastures, as this was
apparently a thesis project.
