Hi all,

My company sells software that uses PostgreSQL and the need has come up to
provide a tool that gives our clients access to query the database but we
don't want to expect these users to be able to use SQL. Is there a product
out there that provides a graphical query builder? Preferably web-based. I
know that Pgadmin as a graphical query building.

Thanks in advance,
Caleb Palmer

phpPgAdmin works great for me! You can do most simple queries without any SQL, including add, select, update, sort (order by), alter, create, drop, etc etc. All that can be done just by clicking buttons and labels in the browser. There is the ability to execute actual SQL queries if your users know how. http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/doku.php?id=start

Check out iReport builder, Crystal Reports, etc.

If you need query building for purposes other than reporting, I'm not
really sure where to go for that.

Open Office Base has a graphical query interface similar to MS Access.
I wouldn't say its a perfect environment, but it may be what you need.
