I changed it to say PGLA has many advanced GUI features not found in
other admin tools.
I play fair Dave, and expect the same from you.
<Why? It is an Open Source package, distributed for free, at the personal
expense of numerous people including myself. Why should we advertise
your or anyone elses commercial products for free?>
Because the installer is not letting it be known that there are
alternatives available, I have had many people tell me they had no idea
there where was anything else available.
It does not matter that pgAdmin is open source, and letting users know
about alternatives is not free advertising, free advertising would be
you paying for my Google addwords account.
You guys are doing the same thing as Microsoft did with Internet
Explorer, let's include it so our browser/admin tool is all the user
knows about or sees when they install the OS, or in this case the SQL
server.
A link or blurb should be mentioned that there are other admin tools
available or pgAdmin should not be installed either.
I am not saying you put specifics about mine or anyone elses product
commercial or open source, but I think links back to the commercial and
open source pages on the postgresql site would be a fair thing to do.
You are not letting the user make a choice about which admin tool to use
or even try...
Just my opinion on the whole fair competition thing,
