Jochen,

Hey, watch it. Some of the phppgadmin developers may be reading this
message. :-)
> Are there some other frontends for beginners to admin postgres?
Yes.
1. PGAccess: Windows and Linux. Somewhat out-of-date, and has
problems on KDE 2.2.
2. PGAdminII: Windows Only. Very user-friendly ODBC-based GUI.
Also some IDEs, such as Borland's Kylix, include management tools for
PostgreSQL. See the archives of the Pgsql-Announce list for links to
various postgres-supporting products.
