Hi, I am almost done with my quest for a way to interact with a postgresql database with a Perl CGI.
I am trying to find a way to interact with my database via my iPad and web access seems to be the key. I basically have a form with a text box, users can enter sql in the text box and hit the submit button and the Perl CGI will do its magic on all of the text in the box. Query results will appear as html tables. I would like one more enhancement... I would like to be able to 'select' some text in the text box and using possibly a different submit button have the CGI code only process the selected text. My gut feeling is that this might involve using javascript which is bad since it has been about Fifteen years since I have written any js code.... Can anyone offer any guidance? What I have now works well and looks good (to me) on the iPad but I think that being able to select text to 'execute' will improve the work flow. Thanks Jerry
