Wolfgang, thanks! I am very persuaded by your arguments regarding Python.
What you have written makes me look at Python in a different light.
I happened to find a download of Python2.2 which I installed at work but
have not tried out. I wish I could find detailed instructions on WHICH python
to download from WHERE, and what I would need to download to access Postgresql
from Python, and then some simple examples of sending a query to postgres
and processing the results. I would be perfectly happy to work with it in that
funny DOS window, I would not require that it be Windows GUI app. Just to
be able to read and write to Postgresql. Do you think there is such a
tutorial/documentation.
Thanks!
