I have just released pgAdmin v6.5.1 at:
http://www.pgadmin.freeserve.co.uk/
pgAdmin is a PostgreSQL administration/management tool for Windows 95/98/NT.
New features/bug fixes include:
1) Modified the Create Function dialogue so It no longer assumes that only
functions written in SQL don't have an object library (e.g. plpgsql).
2) Added an SQL Pane to display SQL queries as they are built and executed.
3) Modified the error handling (again!) to display the function in which any
error occured.
Also of possible interest to Win32 developers is a beta version of an ADO
based data control with a programming and user interface. It is a very
flexible control designed to allow the construction of database applications
very rapidly. It has been tested with Access MDB files and PostgreSQL.
VSAdoData is available for download at:
http://www.vale-it.demon.co.uk/freeocx
Regards,
Dave.

Boy, is it ever!
I just finished installing this beast, and, after a couple of caveats,
have things running smoothly -- this is a great program, IMHO.
1.) You must have DCOM95 or DCOM98 installed, depending upon whether you
are using Win95 or Win98;
2.) You must install the MDAC 2.0 Redistributable Typical Install;
3.) You must have the latest PostODBC installed;
4.) This setup program updates some system files -- you will have to run
setup once, then reboot, then run setup AGAIN (this is a Win95 problem,
not a pgAdmin problem, IMO);
5.) You must set the PostODBC options properly -- go into 32-bit ODBC
setup from Control Panel, select the appropriate datasource, select the
Datasource button, uncheck Read-Only, Check both boxes under OID.
Otherwise, you will get lots of errors.
This is a great program -- particularly if you don't have Access. And,
frankly, the available GUI programs under Linux are not quite as
polished -- no offense to Constantin, as pgaccess is a great little
tool, but it's not quite as polished.
All of the above installs add up to around 15MB of download, so give
yourself plenty of time.

Hi Dave...
After successfully installing this on an NT machine at my office,
I'm working with a client on getting it installed on his Win98 machine,
and the results so far have been most disapointing :(
We downloaded the MDAC2.0 stuff required, and went to setup...it
tells me that "Some system files are out of date..." and when we press
okay, it creates 10 .tmp files in c:\windows\temp, with the 10th file
being 0k in size, and an error message being generated to the effect
"Cannot read source file. Cannot install"...
It is always that 10th file that is 0bytes...
What are we missing? :(

Yup, searched the archives earlier and saw this point...we re-downloaded
and installed it, but it didn't make any difference :(

It's not. Because we keep our development systems patched to the highest
level - currently Windows 98SE/Visual Studio 6 SP2, we often have newer
versions of some of the system files that are needed by Windows and the main
installation routine. This means that these files must be copied to
temporary names and then renamed on reboot to the correct name (remember the
'Please wait while Windows updates your systemsettings' message?). The
installer can then run correctly...

This is the most common problem I (used to) get mailed about. pgAdmin now
does check your settings when the datasource is opened and will complain
about most problems.

Whilst pgAdmin was originally intended as a Win32 pgAccess, the two products
are now going in a radically different direction (I believe). Whilst
Constantin is working on user forms and building a 4GL tool (correct me if
I'm wrong here Constantin!), pgAdmin is moving towards providing complete
integration with the backend for administration and design usage. For
example, we are currently working on a Server Side library to overcome some
of the limitations of ODBC as well as interfacing with libpg.dll.

Of course if you already have MDAC2 and DCOM then the download is a shade
over 4MB. I would suggest getting pgAdmin first and then downloading the
other bits if you need them.
Thanks for your comments Lamar (and I really don't know him!),
Dave.

You're right. I really like pgAdmin, I saw the snapshots, impressive,
just it can't be used on Unix platforms. The Tcl/Tk offers the ability
to run PgAccess also on win32 machines as well as Unix ones.
I will "steal" some ideas from Dave's work, making PgAccess better and
tried to "polish" it further. Just that I don't have too much free time.
I am preparing now a new release of PgAccess, completely redesigned
internally, that will offer to developers some sort of PgAccess API in
order to deliver a good environment for building small applications.
Best regards,

I shouldn't have said latest; recent is a better word, as you need at
least a 6.4 series PostODBC to connect to a 6.5.1 backend.... But, of
course, your software works fin coupled to 6.4.2, 6.5.0, AND 6.5.1.

Yeah, I remember the message. I was just noting it so that potential
users won't get annoyed by the reboot deal. Yet another example of
Microsoft's DLL problems. And it's not your fault. It is, however,
similar in concept to RedHat's glibc problems -- and it is a kindred
spirit with the "dump/initdb/reload" experience that is so endearing in
PostgreSQL (BIG grin). Every substantial package has to give up on
backwards compatability at some juncture -- although I believe that any
serious PostgreSQL user should be reading the HACKERS list -- if nothing
else so they can get Tom Lane's initdb warnings.

The only errors I got were due to the Read-Only box being checked --
which caused a barf. Although, that was only the first time through -- I
can't get it to repeat the barf. But, it was a quite cryptic error
message.

Just as a suggestion -- Microsoft does not link from the MDAC download
page to the DCOM page -- could you maybe place a link to that on your
page? That would help a little, I think.
> Thanks for your comments Lamar (and I really don't know him!),
You're welcome (and I wouldn't know Dave from Adam if I saw him...
;-))...
After having played with pgAdmin for awhile now, I am really impressed.
The tree-style view of the table and column definitions are nice (of
course, it makes me really feel the absence of ALTER TABLE ALTER
COLUMN....)
It even gives me a good error message when I attempt to view the
contents of pg_log and pg_variable.... Although, I am at a loss to
understand WHY I can't view either of these two system tables.... I
know, "Use the Source, Luke..."
The button help (the pop-up) for Add Column is wrong -- it tells me that
this button is to "rename the selected column." This is the only error
I have yet seen. Good Job!

It's not even really a backward compatibility thing here. It's because files
like msvcrt20.dll are locked open by Windows at from a very early point
during system startup. This prevents them from being updated.

You should have got a message like:
This datasource is currently Read Only. Any attempts to modify the database
will fail.
However I've just noticed that the connection is currently being checked
*after* the creation of pgAdmins 'helper objects' (views/tables etc.). I've
corrected this for the next release. This is only done once which is
probably why you no longer get the cryptic message from DAO.

Hi Marc,
I assume that it is failing on the small grey window which appears before
the colour faded one with the Vale Software Logo? If so that is the
Microsoft written setup bootstrap that copies the files required for the
main setup program to run (because the main setup prog is written in VB, it
requires the same version of various system files as I have).
Can you see if a log file has been created - it should be called st6unst.log
and should be in C:\Program Files\Vale Software\pgAdmin. If not, it may be
in your Windows directory. Hopefully the logfile will indicate what file
failed to copy (and maybe even why) and we can copy it manually.
If you send me the file I'll check it out.
BTW: There's going to be another new release any day now - there are some
major updates that are particuarly beneficial if you are importing data or
migrating a database.
Regards,
Dave.

Marc,
By an interesting coincidence I've just had an application with (what
appears to be) this problem on a machine here. *No* logfile was created, and
the error occured in the Microsoft written part of the installer (which I
can't debug of course - typical!).
As far as we could tell, the problem was solved by killing another app that
the user was not aware was running in the background. The other app used the
same control that the installer failed when installing (even though it
should have scheduled it for install on reboot because it was locked).
HTH,
Dave.
