Re: Front End Languages for PostgreSQL

Performance is really the bottom line for us. Would you like to qualify your opinion further, using that 
as the criteria?

	I think this has more to do with the demands of the language, I have

	Hmm, I think the DB (binding) is of no relevance regarding choice of
	language. The software model you are (planning to) using are more
	relevant, like :  will you need a OO class model, and do you prefer
	exceptions for future error handling. The last thing to consider is the
	performance demands, but the DB binding has nothing to do with this.
	
	Hope this helps ...
