i have done this. I

would use perl with its database interface via perl-dbi and dbd-pg for the
postgresql interface. and i would use gtk2-perl for the gui.

this is the easiest way to do it.

also then you get a web interface for free: you can use  your backend database 
interaction code to created a web interface with cgi.pm as well 

and your backend code would be mostly valid for mysql or oracle as well via 
the dbi perl interface.
