Hey all,

I'm pretty new to PG and I love it.  It is one of the coolest open source 
projects out there.  I just wanted to give my thanks to all the developers.  
GREAT JOB!

Anyway, I have real interest in learning more about hooking a custom 
front-end to it.  I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion as to where I 
should look to get started.  I'm not looking for the "hey, just use one 
that's already out there."  I'm interested as a way to get to know the 
database and how it works.  I'm quite sure this will be my DB of choice for 
many years to come.  After all, why wouldn't't it be?

I'm a C# developer and I think it would be cool to have a front-end to use 
with mono when it "comes of age" and one that can be used with windows right 
now.  I'm thinking along the lines of putting most of the logic in a single 
project and then get a SWF, GTK#, and QT# interface.  It's making me smile 
just thinking about it.


I'm aware of the Npgsql.net project but I don't think it can do everything 
that I would like to do, like edit triggers, define constraints, etc...  
Wouldn't it be more for connecting to a server rather then configuring one.  
Anyone know about this?

Ideas?

Gabriel
