I use web2py and pgadmin3 a lot with postgresql as backend. Web2py is a python web-framework. I also once succeeded in setting up openoffice (before the time of libreoffice) up with postgresql but as I hardly ever use openoffice/libreoffice except for a few spreadsheets I stopped using the 'base' part.
