Thread: postgresql_autodoc integration in PgAdmin?
Hello, for the average clickdroid, postgresql_autodoc is, erm, a little bit "tedious" to get to work and use imho. *sigh* How about integrating it into PgAdmin? TIA, Sincerely, Wolfgang -- NO "Courtesy Copies" PLEASE!

It's written in Perl. pgAdmin is C++. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

I know, but... A lot of free software (OpenOffice, Gimp, Inkscape...) is written in C++ and integrates e.g. Python scripts. Without thatthe user has to notice it. Should this be impossible with a Perl script? *duck* Being able to use autodoc as another reporting tool would be "quite nice". Sincerely, Wolfgang -- NO "Courtesy Copies" PLEASE!

Without thatthe user has to notice it. Should this be impossible with a Perl script? *duck* Python has an embeddable interpreter which has a liberal licence which is compatible with pgAdmin's licence (iirc). Unfortunately, Perl's licence is not compatible which makes it much less convenient to provide fully functional binary builds. > Being able to use autodoc as another reporting tool would be "quite nice". I don't disagree. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
