[postgis-users] postgres data tables package (ORACLE Forms replacement?)

[Luís de Sousa]

Hi John,

OpenOffice is ok if you do not use views, you can create neat forms
and there's also the option to edit data in tabular displays. Reports
are also handy.

But if you use views, OpenOffice simply don't deal with them.

Best of luck,

Luís
