PHP would be a good way to go - any OS, as long as it has a nice web 
browser :-)

I am using Python + PyGresql + wxPython.
Scripting nice & well performing user interfaces in next to no time :-)
Works like a charm on all Gtk+ capable Linuxes/BSD/Unixes as well as 
Windows. AFAIK, should work on OSX too.

And of course there's libpqxx, the new C++ frontend I'm currently working 
on.  Download from

Python + psycopg + wxPython.  My assessment would be
similar to that of Horst, though I use psycopg as my
DB Interface.  I prefer psycopg because it is designed
from the ground up for high performance in highly
threaded applications, which is important for me.  It
also has some nice extensions over and above the
standard Python DBI, eg. per cursor commits.  Python
is definitely the scripting language of choice for
it's clean syntax and ease of debugging (ie. greater
productivity) and wxPython (based on wxWindows) whilst
having a steeper learning curve than say Tkinter (and
sometimes a somewhat non-Pythonic feel) has a richer
widget set, a professional look and feel, and a
development team committed to Python support.  Both
solutions are highly portable.

I use PHP or java servlets and/or jsp.

Sometimes I use java + JDBC.

I'm using ADA with binding PG-ADA and a 'thick' homemade ada package to
get a higher abstraction level.
