just wondering if someone can tell me of the progress of frontend for
postgresql..

I  liked pgaccess it seemed the most complete of what i saw coming from the
gui of say msaccess which i use for my invoicing ..

i'm trying to decide to most complete platform ( staroffice's adabas DB or
postgresql ) to insert my energies into what will be the least arduous

thanks
lee
