pgAdmin3 is written in C++, using the cross-plattform and free
GUI-Toolkit wxwindows (www.wxwindows.org I believe).
pgAdmin3 includes an editable grid-view (right-click a table, and
select "Edit Data").

I believe pgAdmin3 is licensed under a BSD-License, so you might even
be able to reuse some code.

I'm not sure if I would trust a programming language ranking that is based
on search-engine results. First, a higher rating might indicate that people
have lots of trouble with the language (Because the search for, and post
solution-x for the problems). Seconds, _any_ programming language comparision
that doesn't say in what _context_ or for which _problems_ a language is
good, and for which it is bad, is worthless IMHO.

Including C,C++,Visual Basic, PHP and PL/SQL(!) in the _same_ ranking is just
insane. They serve vastly difference purposes (Just imagine a web-application
in PL/SQL, a kernel in Visual Basic or a GUI-Applikation in PHP)
