You will need to compile it with Visual Basic and register OCX components manually. If you are not a professional programmer, you have 1% chances of achieving a manual installation. Also, it is recommended to use pgAdmin2 / PostgreSQL 7.1.2 - PostgreSQL 7.1.2 provides many bug-fixes and new features, - pgAdmin2 has many improvements (function modification, view modification, etc, a better GUI, many bug fixes..). - pgAdmin1 and PostgreSQL 7.0 are outdated and not supported by our team. We wron't be able to help you in case of problem. Sorry. By far, it is recommended to upgrade to PostgreSQL 7.2.1 / pgAdmin2. This solution provides a much more stable system. Here are the required steps to migrate database 'foo' : 1) Dump your database Let's suppose your database name is "foo" We will backup it to filename : filename.sql root@localhost: pg_dump -u foo > filename.sql View filename.sql to be sure all your data is there. Backup your files on a separe media/computer/CDROM. Don't upgrade unless you are sure all databases are dumped with backups. 2) Upgrade PostgreSQL It is recommanded to use PostgreSQL latest RPMs. For Mandrake, my list of installed RPMs is as follows: libecpg3-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm libpgperl-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm libpgsql2-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm libpgsqlodbc0-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm libpgtcl2-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-contrib-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-devel-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-docs-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-jdbc-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-python-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-server-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-tcl-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-test-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-tk-7.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm In case of RedHat, the reuired packages can be downloaded freely from : http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/PByName.html http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/LByName.html Do not buy the "RedHat database system", this is a marketing solution for fools. It wron't provide you with anything more than http://www.rpmfind.net. Enter as root : rpm -Uvh packages_name1 package_name2 [..] package_nameN All packages should be listed and upgraded at once. 3) Enable ODBC server-side See my last mail: > enable TPCIP_socket in /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf > list your client IP in /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf > create user foo with administrative rights restart postgresql 4) Download and install pgAdmin2 from http://pgadmin2.postgresql.org Connect to database template1 using user foo Re-create an empty database "foo" (replace "foo" with your database name). 5) Upload data in your database Connect as user postgres #root@localhost>su -postgres Upload data using pgsql #postgres@localhost>psql bar < filename.sql Done! Do not hesitate to come back on our list for more information. Cheers, Jean-Michel POURE
Thanks, the upgrade of all packages is in the plans!

Actually, the original downloads are available at http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgadmin, which is an updated version of the old www.greatbridge.org site (Jean-Michel, your old login should still work). There are moves afoot to encourage use of the site again for other PostgreSQL projects, but you know how quickly the PR stuff happens around here :-) Please note though, as Jean-Michel said, pgAdmin I is NOT supported any more, and if at all possible an upgrade to PostgreSQL 7.2.1 + pgAdmin II is by far the best idea. Regards, Dave.
Thanks Dave, I was able to find and install the old version from the site mentioned below. Does the older version support transactions? How about the new version, does it support transactions?

No, you can't rollback creation or modification of objects (actually, you can to an extent if you use Revision Control - http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=13), but if you are writing scripts and running them in the GUI, then you can use transactions in the same way as you would in psql.
