I have been able to get PgAccess running on a Macintosh. This is a
Tcl/tk app written by Constantin Teodorescu and is available at
ftp://ftp.flex.ro/pub/pgaccess. In addition you will need pgsql.tcl
which is a tcl script equivalent of the libpgtcl shared libraries.

It doesn't use odbc ( a good thing? ) , and since it is all text based
source, there is very little mystery about how it works. PgAccess is
also a good way to learn Tcl/Tk - with postgreSql since it is a working
example of most of the things you would want an app to do.

Performance seems fine to me.
