Re: [cobalt-developers] Fw: Interbase 6 SQL server & Cobalt

["Steve Rogers" <s.rogers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

No, but I did want to use Interbase - this has now put me off completely,
and this WAS one of the reasons that I commited to using a RAQ4!.

There is a version of the a browser based admin that is used for mySQL (
phpMyAdmin),  for postgresSQL - called phpgadmin. Though as it's name
suggests it is a php based solution.

I have used phpMyAdmin for some time and found it very good, although I have
yet to try the postgres version.


Steve.
