    I've got several applications where I use a PostgreSQL database running on a
    Linux server with a MS Access front end application running on the
    individual PCs.  It was pretty painless to build, although knowing something
    about Access would have been nice, and it provides a nice user interface for
    the individuals that enter the data.  Then I have Perl CGI scripts written
    on the server to provide read only reports to the web site.

    		For years I am using dBASE to compute payroll of employees.
    Required
    		data entry is number of days present and overtime if any.
    This is done
    		record by record. Data entry person sees employee number and
    name, and
    		boxes with prompt, where the data is entered. For Postgresql
    is there
    		any user interface available, that could help a non
    technical person to
    		make the data entry?

    This is what I've been doing with a personal project at home.  Since I do a
    lot of development in Access but wanted to give PostgreSQL a try.  The big
    problem with using Access is paying for the license.
    
    How about a good BASIC & PostgreSQL combination to give you something along
    the lines of Ardent's UniVerse?  Anyone?
