<div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have now experimented with pgAdmin4 a
littlebit and am generally impressed by the direction that it’s going.  </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span

paginationof the results on the Query page.  Michal Kozusznik (message id: <a

politelysaid “Not sure if it's good idea.”  I have used pgAdmin3 for thousands of hours, so please understand that the
followingcomment comes from a place of great respect for pgAdmin3 and all of the work that went into it:  I’ll stick my
neckout and say that pagination is a terrible, terrible idea and I beg you to reconsider.  Scrolling is much faster and
easierfor the user (see for example Mike Bostock’s comments at <a
href="https://bost.ocks.org/mike/scroll/)">https://bost.ocks.org/mike/scroll/)</a>,especially since a database admin or
heavyuser occasionally has a reason to scroll quickly through lots of rows to get the gist of something (a general
feelingfor the proportion of the rows that are blank, or some such thing).  Of course the same questions can always be
answeredmore precisely with targeted queries, but having a fast and responsive GUI makes the work easier.  I think it’s
apretty safe bet that most pgAdmin users are the kind of people who try to minimize the amount of pointing-and-clicking
thatthey do when working.</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt">Forthe same reason, it was nice in pgAdmin3 to have the SQL button right on the main ribbon so
thatyou could instantly launch a query page; it’s a bit less convenient to have it down two levels.</span><p
class="MsoNormal"><spanstyle="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Anyway,
thankyou for the excellent tools, and I look forward to seeing pgAdmin4 in production.</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span
