Hi
Why not take a look at Rekall - http://www.totalrekall.co.uk. Rekall is a
RAD tool for building database applications. It is similar to both
FileMaker and MS Access but costs a faction of the price. Rekall supports
PostreSQL natively as well as several other database engines. An ODBC
interface driver is available if needed. Rekall runs on Windows, Linux and
Mac X OS ( this a first beta release ). There is also available a Run Time
version of Rekall, which allows you to distribute your application, without
the need for your clients the buy a full developer edition. The Run Time
version prevents people from making alterations to your application. A
version of the Rekall Run Time system, which will include on-the-fly
encryption/decryption of your application, will be available soon
