Hello.
Is there a GUI utility to visually edit Postgres DATA (not a database
schema!), which allows at least:
- insert/update rows using screen windowed forms (possibly ugly
auto-generated forms, but - still forms)
- insert foreign key references by selecting them from a list (not by typing
the keys manually)
- work with multi-line text fields (textarea) for TEXT columns
There is a lot of DB development tools around (e.g. I like EMS PostgreSQL
Manager). But a developer tool is handy for a database STRUCTURE editing,
and when we need to modify its DATA quickly, these tools are not too useful.

It sounds like you want something like Microsoft Access, or
OpenOffice.org Base.
Beware that Access isn't very nice to use with non-Microsoft databases.
Its ODBC interface is a bit painful, and you'll need Visual Basic
workarounds to properly handle things like primary key generation.
OpenOffice.org base is just so buggy that I've never bothered fully
evaluating it for anything.

Lightning Admin has a form view when editing data and shows text fields
as multi line in the form view and in the data grid itself.
Later,
Tony

Thanks, but seems Lightning Admin does not support foreign keys choice (at
least, its demo version).
Any other solutions?

Have you tried Kexi yet?
