Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away, I wrote gui apps ( Cocoa/Python/Tk) that allowed
me to interact with Postgresql databases ( Think stripped down PgAdmin).

It would be nice to be able to do the same on my iPad...but I guess that Python and Tk are
out as developmental tools.

(I have a ssh app that I can use but it is a bit clumsy...)
