Hi,
I've got to create a database application for my client and I've got a
problem with choosing the apropriate language and libraries. Program
must connect to a database (I chose Postgresql) and must have nice gui.
What is more it has to work under windows and linux.

First of all I want to use Ada, bu what with the gui ? In my opinion,
maybe I'm wrong, the GTK-made gui isn't nice for a normal windows user.
My application must work under windows, but also there should be the
possibility to work under linux. My next chose is C# with mono, but
there also is gtk when talking about multiplatform application. Next, I
thought about wxWindows (I still like this name), but there is no Ada
binding and I want to avoid C and C++ as much as I can.

Can someone help me with some good advice ? 



Would your definition of a "nice GUI" allow a web application with AWS?


I've already read into documentation to the AWS and I must say that it is really nice, but for multiusers environment with server but what about one-user application uses on a notebook ?

That's pretty much the same. You launch the application locally and then open a browser pointing to the appropriate port in localhost. Using a stub launcher which do both you can abstract this fact to the users.
