A nice GUI for adhoc data spelunking https://github.com/sosedoff/pgweb

Nice to interrogate your DB remotely. How to prevent others from doing it too? IP filter?

I would hesitate before putting this in front of any production database, but, if you wanted to, you could just have it listen on 127.0.0.1 and then put a proxy in front of it to handle authentication and authorization. We have another web app that uses two-factor keycard+password authentication, but it all happens at the Apache level, so the actual app can remain "dumb" with respect to security.
