Hi all!

I'm thinking about starting a (serius) project to
bring a good graphical interface to the administration
and operation of postgresql, similar to what other
databases have.

The goal is to be able to do all the administrative
work of postgres in a single program. It would
include manage databases, tables, users, privileges
..., see/alter table contents, start/stop the
server(s), configure postgres, manage backups, have a
good SQL console, monitorize the backends, ...

As you can see it would be a superset of the pgaccess
capabilities but backwards compatible with it.
The program would be done in Java/Swing, being
automaticaly portable. The license would be the
license of PostgreSQL itself.

The cuestion is: Is there any posibility of such a
beast being ever included in the standard distribution
of PostgreSQL, if it prove util, well designed and
rock-solid, or it would not be accepted like a
standard add-on by the PostgreSQL hacker comunity?
(perhaps Java/Swing not acceptable, ...)

Thank you.

Pedro Abelleira Seco
