I have been working on a general purpose table-driven web-based database
query/update tool that I hope to release into the open source community
some day.  (I've been calling it PostBrowse, as far as I can tell nobody
else is using that name yet.)

It doesn't handle every data type in postgres, but it'll handle most of
them, including limited support for arrays, and it will also support
having data in the form of radio boxes, check boxes and pulldown lists.
(It doesn't support style sheets yet, but I'm thinking about ways to add that.)

It's been in use at a client's office since March of 2004, so it's pretty
robust, though it needs some major cleanup work and doesn't have a lot
of documentation yet.

Contact me about your specific needs, if you're willing to be a pre-beta
tester, I may be able to put something together for you.
