Thread: ViewDesigner Code
Mark, Thanks, got the code and installed it. Am i right in thinking you have not doen any work yet to draw objects in the top pane for the tables/relationship lines? I saw a lot of stub procedures for many operations all which launch a new window - I guess you cut/paste a lot of code, huh? Any hints on getting anything work that DOES work so far? I managed to load a .SQL file and see the coloured syntax SQL in pane 3 but nothing in panes 1,2,4 - is that right? Great to have something already started on this feature, as it will give us all a chance to get places. I can forsee needing a CVS facility for it sooner rather than later. Do you anticipate seeing it as a add-in module a la Excel exporter etc. In this case it would fit very nicely into the plugins folder on the existing CVS. Dave, who do you deal with to get the pgadmin CVS facility arranged with to see about the idea of partial upload facility for Mark & I?? Exchanging Zips of code with instructions to merge in is barmy when CVS exists and is already used for this project? Alternatively, Mark, could we get a slot on Sourceforge/OSDN in the short term?

I deal with me :-) Sorry, it's been chaos around here this week and I've yet to get anything sorted. I'll _try_ to look at it today... Meanwhile, now my Cygwin's gone toes up (new laptop == new install :-) ). What's with that new version of the Installer? It's *horrendous* :-( Regards, Dave.

Am i right in thinking you have not doen any work yet to draw objects in the top pane for the tables/relationship lines? I did throw a copy of the control I was working on into the top pane just to see if I was on the right track. It seemed like it would work, so I took it out for the time being until the control is finished. I saw a lot of stub procedures for many operations all which launch a new window - I guess you cut/paste a lot of code, huh? Yeah, I did, for devel purposes. I don't plan on keeping it that way. The plan is to have each View Designer window self-sufficient until the user is ready to create the view, at which time the view definition would be sent to the existing new view dialog box for naming and commenting, etc. Any hints on getting anything work that DOES work so far? I managed to load a .SQL file and see the coloured syntax SQL in pane 3 but nothing in panes 1,2,4 - is that right? Correct, it doesn't actually do anything productive at this time, unless you count loading and saving a .sql file productive. :) Great to have something already started on this feature, as it will give us all a chance to get places. I can forsee needing a CVS facility for it sooner rather than later. Do you anticipate seeing it as a add-in module a la Excel exporter etc. In this case it would fit very nicely into the plugins folder on the existing CVS. No, I think it would be better as a menu option/icon, just like the `execute arbitrary sql` feature. The reason it is the way it is now is the plugins in the version I have right now are broken, and won't load right. Dave, who do you deal with to get the pgadmin CVS facility arranged with to see about the idea of partial upload facility for Mark & I?? Exchanging Zips of code with instructions to merge in is barmy when CVS exists and is already used for this project? Alternatively, Mark, could we get a slot on Sourceforge/OSDN in the short term? I don't see why we couldn't get a spot at SF, if it is not possible or practical to use the existing CVS.

Thanks for replies Mark, however your 'quoting' of my email was up the spout and so I had trouble working out where your replies were separate from my quotes. Tim.

It's *horrendous* :-( Oh, not seen this? I downloaded 1.3.10 the other day and it seemed the same installer to me....?
