I have postgres tables (with data) for a specific application but have
not found the time to learn django to make it an application that my clients
can use. It occurs to me that the most parsimonious approach is to use
LibreOffice's Base for the UI with postgres as the dbms-engine. While I work
in only linux (and unixODBC is installed), my clients all use various
flavors of Windows, but the three critical software applications (LO,
PostgreSQL, and ODBC) are available for Microsoft, too.
I've scanned the Base portion of the LO User Guide and it looks to be a
practical solution to quickly providing clients with working database
applications.
As this is completely new territory for me I'd like is to learn from
those who've done this before. As examples, What can/should I do as stored
procedures using PL/pgSQL? Can queries be created and tested using psql
before being imported into Base?
All tips and gotcha's for a new user are certainly welcome.
TIA,
Rich
