[wellylug] Database application using OpenOffice?

[Chris Hodgetts]

I am using Tora! as a Postgresql front end.
There are other plugins I think that you can use as well.

I dont use it really that much and as I am not a DBA or anything, I only
used it to see if data was being put into a database I set up for our mail
lists at work.

Anyway you could try that.
