Thread: TODO List
Hackers, Can you please take a minute or two to look at the TODO list: http://www.pgadmin.org/development/todo.php and note any items that have been completed already, ones that don't make any sense now (perhaps because PostgreSQL has implemented a feature we wanted to emulate), or items that are just plain daft! A similar pass over the bugs list: http://www.pgadmin.org/support/issues.php would also be useful - there are probably some which are no longer relevant or have been fixed in wx or other places. Thanks! -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
Hi, Dave in the todo list as major project you can add and an entity relationship model tool with reverse engineering that manage all major features of postgresql (like complex types and others). I hope to help in this item after start to work again in the GQB and finish it :) I have been busy :(.
- Will be very interesting create a tool (Report tool) that allow dbas to create reports of data inside the databases (probably using the GQB) because this is one of the most tedious work in some organizations where the dba is developer too (not as part of main pgAdmin but as a plugin or something like that).
- Something very important for me, is the creation of an update wizard that alert users that there is a new version of pgAdmin and allow to install it, or at least inform about the new features of the new version, because some organizations are using very old versions of pgAdmin and never remember about update it.
And a list of ideas from commercial applications:
- Blob View/Editor for more common files stored (like images) when navigate througth data
- Help with bussines intelligent applications like OLAP or a data mart / data warehouse design tool
- Interface to use SSH/HTTP tunnel
This are just ideas.
Regards, Luis.

A similar pass over the bugs list:
http://www.pgadmin.org/support/issues.php would also be useful - there
are probably some which are no longer relevant or have been fixed in
wx or other places.
Thanks!

Hi Luis, I'm trying to remove stuff from the lists, not add to them! By all means send a patch for concrete ideas to add though - but try to avoid non-specific ideas. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

That would be me :-) Thanks - I've removed them, and some other entries that didn't make much sense. > >> A similar pass over the bugs list: >> http://www.pgadmin.org/support/issues.php would also be useful - there >> are probably some which are no longer relevant or have been fixed in >> wx or other places. >> > > I don't find something to remove there. I found one Windows bug, but afaik, everything else is still current. Thanks! -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
