While I've been playing with postgresql, I don't know variations of the select statements well enough for this simple task. It feels like using a sledge hammer for a very small nut. I'm just looking for a small program that I as a single user can enter names, addresses and telephone numbers and retrieve quite easily. Any ideas? I don't remember which distro you use but there is a Debian package which I use and works quite well. If you don't use Debian I'm sure you can find it from freshmeat.net and install it manually.
