ANSWERS:

	It all depends what you need to do.
	From using Qt for graphical frontend. I have found the Sql bits to 
be extremly slow. So the plan is currently to stop using them and use the 
pqxx drivers. Change is not easy however! (Thats under Linux...)
	If you need a quick gui try pgaccess and the like. If you want to 
writea full gui pick you favoute language and there should be some 
postgres drivers (if all else fails there is always ODBC)
	somthing like perl or python may be nice and platform 
independant....

I've always felt there's nowt wrong with Access as a way of building 
forms/reports etc.
