Seeking advice: Best non-networked front-end
Considerations: I am retired and want to create my own database and
database captures. I have experience with PERL
Can you explain more what you mean by database captures?
Basic question 1: Which non-networked front-end would work best for me?
Basic question 2: I am seriously considering HTML fields to capture and
process the information. So to connetct with postgresql what do I need to
know? Do I need to know javascript, python, and other languages? How is
PERL for something like this?
So does the above mean you want to use a Web based application to enter
data into your database?
The way I see it you have two components to your question, managing the
database e.g. creating the database and contained objects and
manipulating the data within the created objects. For the management
component Vincenzo's suggestion of pgAdmin or using the Postgres command
line client psql would work. For the second component, building
entry/reporting forms it comes down to how involved you want to get into
coding.
I am entering the below values by hand into a functional database. I
thought that I would create some type of front-end to enter the values
and then have the front-end enter the values into the postgresql database.
01). visit_date
02). start_time
03). end_time
04). venue (This is the casino name)
05). city
06). state
07). limit (4/8 20/40 etc)
08). game (7-card-stud etc)
09). variant (fixed-limit no-limit etc)
10). high-low (mixed-high-low high-only etc)
11). buy_in
12). cash_out
Thank you;
