Thread: Feature Request

I am evaluating using postgresql as the backend database for a new project
that my company will be starting. I have looked at pgadmin3 and my overall
impression is that it is really good. One feature that I would like (as I
haven't found it yet) is to be able to populate the edit table grid from
an sql query, or 'query by example' style - making it easier to edit rows
in a large table.

Hi Jon,

We do not intend to allow editing the results of arbitrary queries as
that is a minefield of potential problems as we found in pgAdmin II. We
have however added the ability to apply SQL 'WHERE' clauses to the data
grid to allow you to filter the data as required.

This functionality is in recent snapshots available from
http://www.pgadmin.org/snapshots/
