I tried firing up PostgreSQL last year and running the equivalent of 
phpMyAdmin for it but got stuck trying to get the authentication right, and 
I couldn't find any good web pages or mailing lists to get me over the 
hump, so I shelved the attempt. Has the situation improved? How hard is it 
to get a bare-bones web-based admin system up and running?

Also, how is the situation for remote Win32 application access? I've got a 
Windows app (Borland Paradox) that doesn't quite work right with MySQL's 
ODBC connector, and it's hard to debug what's wrong both due to the nature 
of Paradox and the difficulty in seeing what's going on in the ODBC driver. 
Is there a good highly-debuggable ODBC connector for PostgreSQL?
