Thread: Curses interface
I'm looking for a curses tools to enter data into a PostgreSQL database. Insert and delete tuples change the values of columns, that sort of things. Detecting REFERENCES columns and presenting me with a list of values culled from (SELECT * FROM referenced-table) would be a nice plus. Thanks in advance. -- André Majorel <URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> Do not use this account for regular correspondence. See the URL above for contact information.

Thanks for the hint but I'm specifically looking for a /curses/ (or slang or whatever) interface. Something interactive that is designed with the keyboard in mind (as opposed to something designed for the mouse with keyboard shortcuts added as an afterthought). And preferably that can run in a terminal. -- André Majorel <URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> Do not use this account for regular correspondence. See the URL above for contact information.

If I do not misrecall, pgadmin3 is an X-based application, running atop some combination of WxWindows and GTk. Curses is something else entirely. The best chance would be if someone has done a binding of libpq to S-Lang... http://www.s-lang.org/modules/ I'm not aware that this has happened... Another possibility would be scripting using the "dialog" tools... <http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2460> -- (format nil "~S@~S" "cbbrowne" "cbbrowne.com") http://cbbrowne.com/info/curses.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #163.
