Peter, I remember you gave me the same answer a while ago, but frankly,
I've been roaming around gamelan lately (after my attempt with pgAccess
failed), and I didn't see anything which fits the description. I saw a few
tools which, from the descriptions, are nothing more than places to insert
a query and see the results. If you're lucky, you see the results
graphically. I just wonder if there's any took I've skipped, or if I looked
in the wrong place at gamelan. Do you have any actual name of any software
(preferable not commercial) which you know does it?

I think most of them are just that - enter a query and get the results
out.

I can't remember what it was called, but I did see one that did allow some
administration a while back. I'll try to dig it up.
