Thread: Postgres and Macintosh Clients

Postgres and Macintosh Clients

From
"Samuel Greenfeld"
Date:
   Pardon me for sounding like a new user, but does anyone have any information on how to integrate Postgres with
Macintoshclients?  I can not find useful information on this topic by searching postgresql.org and the web.   Openlink
Softwareis mentioned, but their web page provides little insight as to how to get their Macintosh drivers.   We have an
existingPostgres database system, and would like to avoid setting up an alternate database product just for Macintosh
usersalongside our existing system.  

   Information on how to access Postgres from AppleScript and/or Filemaker Pro would especially be welcome, since many
ofour Mac users wish to work with databases from these tools. 

   Sincerely,
   Samuel Greenfeld

Samuel,

you should have a look at RealBasic version Pro:

Even if their PostgreSQL driver is (a bit) buggy, it allows access to your
databases from MacOS.

There's also a PostgreSQL extension to Frontier, a widely used cross-platform
scripting tool:

    <http://spicynoodles.com/projects/postgreSQL>

From Frontier, you can script FileMaker with their UserTalk language or with
AppleScript.

(Maybe these solutions could be mentioned on PostgreSQL web pages ?)
