Yes, because the user in question isn't an SQL guru or a Linux guru or
anything like that, but a Mac user who is used to clicking on widgets and
the like (she's also very familiar with MS-Access, but we don't have a
Windows machine available). I was looking for something like PgAccess, so
the user could export data to a local file for, say, a mail merge in a
word processing document. I ended up having to hand code a web interface
ultimately in Perl.
