Hi Sarel<br>
<br>
Let us know when you have something out. Would be great to know some<br>
details too - what language / platform are you targeting? One of the<br>
QGIS developers, Martin Dobias, has written a Postgis Manager plugin for<br>
QGIS which gives a lot of neat functions for working with PostGIS from<br>
within QGIS:<br>

<br>
If you are working in python, it might be nice to consider collaborating<br>
with him.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
