[linux-help] Linux Apps

[Lars von dem Ast <mrprenzl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm working for a local government now, and we desperately need a SQL 
presence with powerful client front-ends. We need all kinds of data 
managed, so it will be a serious undertaking. I'm thinking of Postgres 
for the SQL, but I don't know what to use for the client end. I once 
worked at SouthWind, and they used a combination of Postgres and Perl/Tk 
for a customer service app (done by J. Goerzen as I recall). But I'm in 
a total MS environment that is running Citrix/NT Terminal. I've also 
thought of Java--probably the easiest solution--but I'd like to stay 
pure open source if possible. There'll be a lot of Web serving with 
Apache, too. Can really serious data management happen with Web pages 
alone? Remember, this is a situation that would normally be handled by 
SQL Server and Visual Basic. Any ideas for a pure open source path?
