Thread: Feature request: 'PG bin path' as Command Line Parameter

Hello,

I often work with different major versions of PostgreSQL and prefer to use the pg_dump version of the server.

However, you can only set 'PG bin path' once for all versions of pgAdmin III. So sometimes I forget to change the
versionsand the dump can't be restored without problems.
 

So it would be nice if one could set 'PG bin path' as command line parameter overriding the setting 'within' pgAdmin:
http://pgadmin.org/docs/1.14/commandline.html

The icing would be displaying the changed path in the top bar.

Thank you very much,

Peter

I wouldn't be able to explain why, but it doesn't strike me as really
interesting. I also work with different major releases of PostgreSQL,
and I'm often annoyed by the PostgreSQL bin path. But using a envvar to
fix this doesn't feel right to me.
