I want to assemble a freestanding DB + GUI front end for experimentation.
20 years ago I made a Point Of Sale program using Microsoft Access and AccessBasic.
Looking for similar software in FreeBSD. Not wanting LibreOffice's Base but a freestanding DB.
I think I have found a solution but would like opinions.
postgres seems to appeal to me. So for a GUI we have pgadmin3 (somewhat outdated though).
All that seems kosher but I also see a phppgadmin port. What is the difference? Obviously it adds php support.
Do I need that? Will pgadmin suffice for application building?
The world has changed since Access Basic and web applications are the new norm.
Where should I go? For my personal web site server I currently use lighttpd on Linode and love it.
So should I locally serve up my http database application with lightttpd too?
Any advice is welcomed. Even better DB choices are OK. I like the postgres license.
