I don't know if this is a postgres question, a gtk+ UI question, or a C
question. So, if I'm in the wrong mail list, please let me know.
 I want to implement lookup tables in my applications. I've always (in
Paradox/DOS) used them primarily in one way:
The lookup table contains limited values permitted in a field andprovides consistent case and spelling on each
record/tuple.
 For example, a lookup table would have the chart of accounts so the user
could select the appropriate account when entering expenses or writing a
check.
 I assume that there is a way to implement this in my postgres
applications, but I've not seen how.
 All guidance and pointers gladly received.

TIA,

Rich
