Aha, a possible solution (and probably cleaner, consistant and leaner
than Forms <something>) to allow for insert, delete and update data in
the db manually as you have described above is pgadmin3.
Since pgAdmin3 may not provide you the flexibility beyond modifying a
single table a time, you may need to create some secondary tables to
which you'd write triggers and program the triggers update the
matching records in multiple tables that you would like to have
updated. Or make use of the Rules engine.
Then use pgAdmin3 to make make modifications to this secondary tables,
depending on the operation, the appropriate trigger you've written
will get triggered and perform the updates you'd instructed them to
do.
