Hi,
 
First many thanks for pgAdminII.
 
You're welcome.
 
I've only just started using postgresql with pgAdminII so bear with me if I'm being stupid but:
 
- If I edit table data in the SQL output data viewer, I cannot delete any fields of type 'date'. I get the error 'bad date external representation' when I try and save the record. I have tried but can find no way round this.
 
There isn't. pgAdmin assumes you want to enter an empty string as it doesn't handle most data types in any special way. I'll have to look at how an empty date can be set to null.
 
- Also in the same viewer, the bubble help for the 'refresh' button is incorrect, it reads 'Delete the selected record'. This is obviously where the delete button parameters were copies over and not completely updated. 
 
Thanks, fixed. 
 
- I would dearly love to be able to edit and resave data from within the data viewer when using it with a view. Attempting to do this seems to generate the error 'unterminated qouted identifier'?
 
You shouldn't be able to edit view data at all - can you send me a full debug logfile from the time you press the 'View Data' or 'Execute' button until the error occurs please?
 
- The pgAdminII help seems to be 'thin on the ground' - there's plenty of postgresql help though.
 
Unfortunately there are only so many hours in the day and I much prefer coding to writing docs. If there are any volunteers though....
 
Regards, Dave.
