Thread: About that DBTools Postgres manager
Hi Justin, I just took a look in the DBTools manager (the one that guy told us trough the advocacy site). It's incredible, one of the easyest management tools I've ever seen, it's worth to download it: http://www.dbtools.com.br Very good usability. It's developed by a brazilian guy, but the page is in english and the software too, and it's freeware. The only bad point is that it only runs in Windows, there's no Linux/Unix version, but I think that such tool must be in a kind of "Official PostgreSQL Tools List". There's a lot of people always asking: "Where I can find GUI Tools for PostgreSQL?", and only PgAdmin and TOra are listed on the advocacy site. -- Diogo de Oliveira Biazus diogo@ikono.com.br Ikono Sistemas e Automação http://www.ikono.com.br
I'm in complete agreement with Diogo. Nothing says "we are a strong, well-supported community" more than having a great list of add-on tools and utilities people can pick up and easily use. This is also a great way to generate passive income for supporting PostgreSQL development, if the group can collect money in some fashion. We can arrange to resell or provide leads to companies that are selling commercial database software by promoting their software on this site. Just a thought. I'd also like to make a pitch for my favorite utility, PHPMyAdmin, which currently only supports MySQL. Its a fully web-based MySQL management utility You can find it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/ If this is ported to PostgreSQL, it'd be a huge hit. Its already one of the most active projects on SourceForge. - Brian Brian Frank email@brianfrank.com http://www.brianfrank.com -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-advocacy-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-advocacy-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of Diogo Biazus Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 8:31 AM To: Justin Clift Cc: pgsql-advocacy@postgresql.org Subject: [pgsql-advocacy] About that DBTools Postgres manager Hi Justin, I just took a look in the DBTools manager (the one that guy told us trough the advocacy site).

It's at v2.4.2 as of this past July. It seems there's no shortage of PostgreSQL tools, just a shortage of publicity for them - even Pg fans like you and I are just finding out about these now, while phpMyAdmin seems to get an article a week. That's definitely something we can change with advocacy and promotion. Thanks, Shane McChesney President, Wesearch Information Services Inc.

Ok. Let me apologize to all for not seeing this sooner. I also didn't notice it as a sponsored link on Google. My bad. ;) I'm a big fan of these tools, so don't my comment as a bad thing, we just need to get the product more exposure. Maybe through something like a "PostgreSQL Recommended Software" site? ;) - Brian -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-advocacy-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-advocacy-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of Robert Treat Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 11:10 AM To: pgsql-advocacy@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [pgsql-advocacy] About that DBTools Postgres manager On Thu, 2002-11-07 at 13:47, Brian Frank wrote: > > I'd also like to make a pitch for my favorite utility, PHPMyAdmin, which > currently only supports MySQL.

And there's a few others too, like Xpg (http://www.kazak.ws/xpg/) and DataArchitect (http://www.thekompany.com/products/dataarchitect/ - this one is for database design, like ERwin). -- Diogo de Oliveira Biazus diogo@ikono.com.br Ikono Sistemas e Automação http://www.ikono.com.br
Since I put my foot in my mouth, I'll volunteer to collect the list of these applications, and put together a page for Justin. Please sent the application names, links, and short descriptions to me at my personal e-mail address (email@brianfrank.com), and Justin and I will publicize it on the mailing list, and hopefully on other media sites, when we get everything coalesced.
