pgAdmin v.1.6 beta 3 (5508:5517) has been good for me so far. all the issues i had with previous versions seem fixed
andi can't find new ones ;-) good job, dave! 

i am still a bit bummed about two of my biggest pgAdmin pet peeves not being resolved (no distinction between a NULL
anda zero-length string in the grids and the loss of clipboard after closing the app), but we will wait patiently!

Thanks - and thanks for the feedback!

Err, the edit grid has always distinguished between them - from
http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/dev/editgrid.html:

If an SQL NULL is to be written to the table, simply leave the field empty.
If you store a new row, this will let the server fill in the default value
for that column. If you store a change to an existing row, the value NULL
will explicitly be written.

And

If you want pgAdmin III to write an empty string to the table, you enter the
special string '' (two single quotes) in the field. If you want to write a
string containing solely two single quotes to the table, you need to escape
these quotes, by typing \'\'

The grid displays blank for null or '' for empty string, just as you would
enter. I grant you that I don't think the query grid does differentiate -
I'll bung that on the roadmap.

I didn't realise it did lose it. I'll add that too.

i did mean the query grid (i hardly ever use the edit grid). i thought
it was on the roadmap:

where is this "roadmap" anyway? might be good to review for my own
edification and to adjust expectations.

thanks!

A similar item was on the Bugs list for the Edit Grid, and got removed when
I revised it this morning (because I did the work a while back):

- [Edit grid] bool editing doesn't know NULL; major redesign needed

It turned out not to be quite so major :-)

Must have missed that.

I only wrote it at lunchtime actually - it's the list of items that we
actually expect to do in the next release cycle (as opposed to the TODO list
which contains all sorts of idea that may never get done):

I think the simplest choice is to use a Enterprise
Manager approach: CTRL + 0 (zero) is NULL, typing ''
is "strange"

It's been that way since the beginning - I don't think it's going to
change now.
