Scott,

Thanks for the insight. Up until the mid-1990s (when I migrated from DOS to
linux), I used my own CRM written in Paradox. I tuned it over time to do
everything I wanted, and it was open and used every day. I just never did
port that to postgres.

Guess now's the time. I'm trying to find a copy of pygresql to use, but
it's not easy (www.pygresql.org leads to druid.net and there's nothing on the
page about pygresql). I'm learning python to use on a major project here (but
the core libraries will remain in C) so I'd like to use that for the UI on
this project, too. I'm still not sure about the reports, but one step at a
time. That is, will the pygresql display nicely formatted reports based on
sql queries to the backend? Need to find out.

Again, thanks,

Rich
