Thread: Qeustion pgadmin2 develop
Hi Dave
There are many new functionalities for pgadmin2 that I would want to develop.
I wonder if it has sense to make them or of it it is worth the pain.
How much time will want that the pgadmin3 before to us usable?
I see that the development and much assets.
What I must make?
Bye !!

This is something that is of concern to me. pga2 is by no means useless or at a dead-end, yet I want to concentrate on pga3 as it will allow us to go cross platform, and handle Unicode - 2 very popular requests which are seriously hindering pga2 pgAdmin 3 is a fair way from being usable, not least because I have so little time at the moment. On the other hand, Andreas and Keith have both been working hard. Realistically, I think it is likely to be 3 - 6 months before pga3 has the features of pga2 v1.2. So, I am happy to do a 1.6 release of pga2 seeing as you have put in so much effort with useful new features. I will leave it up to you to decide when you have done enough now - just let me know and I'll look at doing a beta release. In the long term, if you know C++, it would be great to have your input on pga3. What do you (and Mark, Jean-Michel, Keith, Andreas - and anyone else I forgot) think? Regards, Dave.

My focus was towards a query tool (weakness in pgadmin2) and a good schema browser (cannot be made better, thus simply recoded). So I don't know what your extentions do. I believe they all are some kind of wizards, implemented as plugin. I wonder if these plugins could be integrated into pgadmin3 too, using automation. This would immediately make all pga2 plugins available to pga3-w32 users. Later on, they could be recoded 1:1 in C++. On the other hand, it's no real fun to use VB from C++, and as I think about it further the database connection probably will be a problem since pga2 uses ADO, while pga3 avoids this. Only recoded plugins possible, I'm afraid. With regard to Dave's timeframe mentioned, I can say that for my needs pgadmin3 is sufficient. I believe there are many programmers that could benefit from using pgadmin3 as it is right now. At least, I released it to some people that used to use ISQL on MSSQL, and switch over to PostgreSQL right now. Anyway, I might find some time to implement some/many/most/all of the missing property/create dialogs, bringing us some steps further. So maybe we reach pga2-1.2 much earlier. Dave, maybe it makes sense to create a release plan stating which version of pgadmin3 should include which features. As you might have noticed, pgadmin3 VERSION states V 0.1.0 at the moment, indicating "many things to come". Regards, Andreas

Dear friends, I don't have many things to say as I am not a contributor to pgAdmin3. pgAdmin3 seems to be the future... You are doing a great job, I whish to join sooner or later and participate.
