"Flay" -- phpMyAdmin, except for Plone and Postgres

Flay is a very cool new product that provides a simple, powerful viewing/editing interface to a Postgres database from inside Plone.

It's not too often that I look at the demo for a new Plone product and think, "damn, that is freaking cool."  (This probably says more about my native cynicism than the average Plone product.  But I digress.)

 I just checked out the demo for Flay, and I have to say, it is pretty darn cool. According to the creator, Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak, Flay "generates a simple - but productive - web interface for Posgresql databases."  Basically, it's like a little version of phpMyAdmin, the popular webadmin tool for MySQL databases, only for Postgres and Plone.

I could see this being really cool for anyone who's linking Plone to relational databases, and wants to make it easy for users to do some "back-end" editing of those database content from within Plone. 

With all the chatter about Plone/Zope's "RDBMS story" of late, I think this is a neat little piece of the puzzle.
