Sorry this is not an option for some of us. This maybe great for people
who are _real_ programmers but not in my case and maybe not in the case
of Terry. I need symbolic representation of data. While I am drawing
pretty dataflow structures why not have the data actually use this work
instead of drawing up the database on paper then hand coding everything
from a text editor?

I would suggest Java - JDBC - Postgresql. JBuilder 4 is the tool I am
testing at the moment. If you need a WWW thin client throw in
Enhydra/Kelp application server.
