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 use WebObjects [1] for internal and external applications. 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.
