I guess I had that coming... :)


What I meant was "Wasn't the security wizard a great feature in PgAdmin II? I
wonder why its not in PgAdmin III yet? Do the developers feel it wouldn't be
necessary because they have something better built in? Is there something in
the PostgreSQL schema support that precludes its use?"

And I'm guessing the answers to those questions are "Yes; It hasn't been done;
No; and No."

Its a shame that at this time I'm such an unskilled C++ programmer, or I could
lend a hand. :) I'd be glad to write documentation for it when the time comes,
tho.

Kindof, though I might have added a smiley...

Umm, yes; it hasn't been done; no; and no.

It's one of those version 2 things, along with the other more useful
wizards...

Are you experienced in any languages? When I finally knuckled down to
it, it only took me a couple of weeks to get going with C++ - in fact my
first real C++ code was the guts of pga3.

Regardless though, if you feel you can improve *any* of the
documentation we would certainly appreciate your efforts.

Regards, Dave.

yes, it hasn't been done, no, no. It's already on the todo-list for
quite a while.

Chris,
you're welcome if you like to review the doc and enhance it. We feel
that a good program should have a good documentation, and the current
doc is not too sophisticated.

Andreas
