I have just released pgAdmin 6.4.3 for PostgreSQL 6.4.x. It is available at:
http://www.pgadmin.freeserve.co.uk/
This is a major new version (though not reflected in the version number!)
which includes a number of new features. Some of these features are not 100%
stable or reliable yet so any feedback would be most useful.
New features/enhancements include:
1) Added a PRIMARY KEY option to the table creation dialog.
2) Changed the grid control to individual text boxes for the object details
on all object browser dialogues.
3) Added more sane default sizing to various dialogues.
4) Added browsers and creation dialogues for Languages, Functions and
Triggers (thanks to Vadim Mikheev for pointing me in the right direction
with the Triggers).
5) Added comment/notation facilities to most objects via the relevant
browser dialogue (thanks to David Hartwig for that idea).
6) Improved the error handling in the Tables Browser.
7) Improved the efficiency of the object detail retrieval code in most of
the browser dialogues.
8) Added 'Number of Triggers' field to Table Details.
9) Added a 'Logging' option to the File menu, that when selected, logs all
SQL queries, form load events etc. to pgAdmin.log which now replaces the old
pgErr.log file.
10)Settings for View ButtonBar and Open Maximised are now store in the
registry on a per user basis.
Regards,
Dave.

Beer can be a permanent solution - but only if you have enough of it!

Dave,
Is it possible to have a stipped down version of the download? Having to
pull down 4+mb via a modem each time is rather painful. I'm not sure what
all the .cap file contains, but the executable is only 600+kb. After
installing the first time, all the other m$ stuff should be ok? BTW, *very*
nice tool. The table viewer is most useful, but you know what is next. If
we could just edit those values.....nothing fancy, just basic table
maintenance. Then I could use just one tool ;-)
Cheers!
Ken

I used to do this with the 6.3.x series. Unfortunately it's not as straight
forward as you might think, because there are about 6 custom ocx's in the
package that often get updated as well - which require registration - as
well as new versions of the runtimes when service packs are released.
The best way to go about it might be to produce an update containing only
the files updated since the previous release. This has two drawbacks:
1) Relies on the user to extract the files to the correct place and manually
register them where necessary.
2) Will only allow (in some cases) upgrading from the immediately previous
version.
If we can get some thoughts from other users about the best way to go I'll
start to do this.

Thanks. When you say 'edit those values' do you mean the table data or the
table info (NO. Triggers, Has Indexes etc.)? If you mean the former, we do
have a nice data control that we could use - I'll look into it. If you mean
the latter then my advice is that you almost certainly don't want to be
playing with those values!
Regards,
Dave.

There is a tool from Pocket Soft Inc., http://www.pocketsoft.com called
.RTPatch. This will compare two files & create a patch file that when
executed, applies all the differences from one to the other. This could be
used against the .zip file. It does require that the user patch the correct
file. So I would suggest making available each patch file when created, as
well as the previous patch files. The users can select the correct one. Or
when all else fails, pull down the big one. You have to inquire about
pricing. It's not listed on their web page. Maybe someone knows of a
freeware counterpart?

Yes, just table data would be wonderful ;-)
