Questions from a beginner!

Hello everybody,
I am very new to PostgreSQL.We are planning to develop a Library Management Package developed on free development tools for a public library,which we want to install free of cost.Here in India there is not much awareness about Open Source.
After some search on the net, I found this very helpful.
I have very basic questions,
1) Can we have any front end, with Post greSQL, (like VB,Access or Oracle Forms) which helps in developing forms and especially Reports (grouping ect.,) for the back end.
2) I found few tools (one of them like Knoda) which can be used with PostgreSQL
or Java technologies are the best suited?
Please suggest us as what to do.
What are the effective development tools used to provide front end for PostgreSQL on Linux whcih are all available on the net. (Best example of my requirement is like Oracle 8i back end and Forms and Reports od Developer 2000 as front end).
we are a group of students and software professionals, and if this is going to work out well, we want to join the Open Source community from here in India.
Thanks and Regards,
Gandluri,
Bangalore, India.

I am just learning to program, and hoping someone can help me with the following: for a simple calculator, a string is entered into a text box ... how do I prevent the user from entering a text instead of a number, or give an error message? Also, how can I make the program verify there are two valid entries in txtBox1 and txtBox2 to then ENABLE the button operators (ie +, -, /, *).

BEWARE beginner questions!! I have some experience in Access but never as much as I want or need. I have decided to get in on VB.Net.

I have some questions where answers are not becoming clear with VB.Net. So here goes. 1 All of the books I have accessed do basic one-two form examples...

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to get started with PHP/MySQL. Everything I've read so far says to start with PHP first. I was expecting something like Visual Basic Express or some other type of free IDE. So I discovered that I needed to download a virtual server, so I downloaded OmniSecure and followed the set up instructions as far as I could figure them out. So here is where I'm stuck. 1) While trying to set up and configure...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
