I'm wanting to build some UI for my database. Just some forms, really. It's postgresql. Since I use SimpleORM, I thought to look into SimpleWebApp. I see it's been discontinued in favour of Simplets. Simplets looks interesting, but still requires writing a little bit of code for every form. I just want to put my tables on the web. Make them editable tables, preferably with LDAP sign on for permissions. I don't really want to write any (much) code right now. I mean, sure I'm going to want to write code eventually, eventually I'm imagining maybe something like Ruby on Rails that uses UNM Mapserver http://map​server.org​/ and http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/ for fancy visualization of my model results. Sometime long into the future I might even try to make web based editable maps. But first, right now, I just want to put my postgresql tables onto the web as forms. I'd like to choose either one-form-per-table (each row is a record) or one form per record. What should I use? For some reason I really can't seem to find an easy solution. Some people are starting to tell me I should just use MS Access, because it has forms built in. But it's not open source, not client-server, platform specific, and all those other bad things. I need another solution. I suppose it doesn't have to be web based, it could be a java app (that runs with webstart to avoid install issues) but I've tried and failed pretty miserably writing Swing once before, I don't want to have to write code to place the table and fill in the columns.) I just want one-row-per-record or one-form-per-record. Any and all ideas appreciated. If this is too off-topic, please send me an email personally. Even one-word suggestions are welcome. -- John Abraham [email protected]
