RE: Re: Universal admin frontend

I'd certainly be keen on helping out with a Java/Swing approach. It would be
an excellent test of the meta-data stuff in the JDBC driver and to catch any
ommissions. I'm willing to provide a homepage etc if wanted (and for some
reason the main postgres site isn't used), maybe Sourceforge could be a goer
too?. A lot of the code will end up being useful too I suspect for other
Java/Postgres projects.

Regards,
Joe

AFIAA, there exists a port of Java for just about every OS that PostgreSQL
supports, not that it should be the only reason for choosing it.  Not that
my vote counts, but I'd go for the java approach and be willing to code a
lot on the interface, anyone else interested?

Anyone thought about wxPython? Much faster then java, can be distributed as
a standalone executable on Windows.  Supports Unix / Mac / Windows.  Don't
know if it supports more or less PG relevant platforms than Java.  I have
been thinking about working on this type of tool myself.
