(As this seems to be the general pg list, I'm posting here even though it is a front-end issue. Apologies.)
While I can happily create rules on views to allow inserts, updates and deletes, I can't find a GUI front-end that understands that the view allows record edits that I can run on linux (whether through X or web-based doesn't matter) and simply open the relation and edit data without designing horrible forms with lots of code. I note that MS-Access allows this, as it asks for the field(s) that are unique and can be used for updating when you "attach" a table, but I don't have (or want) a Windows box or MS-Office. So.... 1) Does anybody know of a tool that allows easy editing of data in views? 2) Might it be useful to have a "contrib" module that has additional table that stores such information in a way the tools such as pgadmin, phpPgAdmin, OpenOffice etc could leverage? This would possibly be in a new well-known schema, maybe "accessory_catalog" and be a bit like the optional schema used by pgadmin. 3) Has anybody hacked common front-ends (such as phpPgAdmin) to do something like this. If I have to develop a hack (probably to phpPgAdmin), I will, but I'd be taking approach (2) as part of the solution, and would offer it to "contrib" so other pg-related tools could use it. The other thing I'd put into it would be an association between relation, attributes and short strings suitable for default screen prompts and report headings. I am being wrong-headed here? -- David T. Bath [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
