Hi, 

I've made the necessary changes to pgAdmin, but how do we handle schema version conflicts?
pgAdmin's job UI now will not work with pgAgent schema version 3, because of the changes in pgagent.pga_job table. I think we have two possibilities:

1. Disable editing Jobs in pgAdmin until a schema upgrade is done
2. Check schema version during GetUpdateSql and GetInsertSql and return two different versions of the statement.

What do you think?

I've got another two topics to discuss about pgAgent:

1. Step ordering
    I suggest adding a column named "jstorder" to pgagent.pga_jobsteps, so we don't have to rename the steps "A_", "B_" if an ordering is required. In the GUI we would add an integer field to the "Change Step" mask. 
2. Definition from File
    Add an extra job step type "SQL from file". The definition field would be treated as a path to a file, which contains SQL-Statements. 

Please let me know what you (all of you) think about the suggested features.

Regards,
Jasmin

Ok.

You need to update the CMakeLists.txt file from which the VC++ project
file and *nix build files are generated.

Just send a patch (git diff) to pgadmin-hackers@postgresql.org.

The maintainers of pgAdmin are the same people, and no, they won't
automatically update the UI for the new feature I'm afraid (they have
enough work to do just keeping up with changes in PostgreSQL). Please
give it a try yourself, and we can help you iron out any kinks or
issues you may run into.
