[Toolserver-l] How to use the Postgis-Database on Cassini

[Peter Körner]

I would like to ask if anyone knows how and from where to use the 
postgis database on cassini.

When logging on to cassini directly I'm able to query the local 
postgresql-database from command line, but on cassini I didn't find a 
perl or python module which enables me to connect to the database, nor 
is there php installed.

 From nightshade and willow I can't connect to cassini via command line 
nor IMHO via python or perl.

I know that the osm-integration is a new thing, but it would be so cool 
if I could use the existing world-database on cassini to build my tools 
upon. So where should I run my tool (cassini, nightshade/willow or 
wolfsbane) and how could i connect to cassinis database?

I already asked on maps-l but as i'm unsure if this question also 
touches the other toolservers, i'll go on and post it here too. please 
forgive me if i shouldn't have done this. I'm very new to the 
toolservers so I'm unsure about who's responsible for what.
