I'm currently playing with Postgres and Python to provide crossplatform application and database access. (Linux, Windoze, HP-UX and MacOS access to one database). The python interface to postgres is excellent and very easy to use. I decided to use python because it's a great language to work in and I can write all the background functions to work with both a Python/TK front end and a Python/CGI web interface. Mike
