OK, good. So now, let's break that down into a list of tasks, that we can
prioritise with Shirley. The initial list should be prioritised based on
your understanding I think, given the following criteria:
- Changes that prevent pgAdmin breaking
- Changes that prevent pgAdmin showing incorrect data/info
- Changes that enable pgAdmin to show correct info
- Changes that add functionality for creating/dropping partitioned tables
as one unit
- Changes that add functionality for modifying individual partitions
independently
Please document the requirements and initial plan on the pgAdmin Redmine
Wiki.
Thanks!
