There are also lots of commercial admin/data tools that will work with PG - check the announcements list and website. MS-Access can link to PG via the ODBC drivers if you're interested in Windows. If you're interested in something slightly more custom, look at ruby-on-rails or one of the other custom web-building systems. They all let you do basic data editing quite quickly. There's also the gnuenterprise.org project which is supposed to be web+gui, but I've never looked at it in detail. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
If you want end-users to be doing the data entry, Andromeda may be what you want. http://www.andromeda-project.org/ The project is aimed at more complicated cases and may carry too much overhead for what you want, but perhaps not.

Their choice of "something like CSS" (e.g. - the HTML 'cascading style sheets' language) as the language for representing data models seems bizarre to me, but their goal of making the whole thing declarative seems mighty attractive. Is anyone using this for interesting applications? -- (format nil "~S@~S" "cbbrowne" "linuxfinances.info") http://linuxfinances.info/info/nonrdbms.html --Kill Running Inferiors--

Perhaps a simple PHP data entry form for a web based tool. I haven't tried these, but they may also work OK (on a Linux/KDE platform): knoda http://www.knoda.org/ rekall http://www.thekompany.com/projects/rekall/ Maybe someome who has actually tried these could comment?
