[ale] Database front end?

[Benjamin Scherrey]

I'll ditto the recommendation for python. I've yet to find a more expressive and connective language 
as python even though my favorite language remains C++. Python has excellent connectivity to just 
about any database (including mysql) and you can put together a truly platform-independent GUI 
using the wxPython environment fairly quickly. There really isn't a competitive tool set out there that 
I've been able to find.

	best regards,
