Thread: edb-debugger, debugging pl/pgsql

Hi,

I don't know if here is the right place to post this, but anyway ...
Does anybody know if there is any binary dist for win32 edb-debugger for pgsql8.3?
If not, do you know which compiler I have to use?
I don't need to install anything on the client side where is my pgadmin, right?

thx

It ships with the binary distro of PG 8.3 for Windows.

And, no, you don't need anything except pgAdmin 1.8+ on the client side.

ok, thx,
I can debug from server pgadmin which ships with pg8.3 (1.8.2 rev 7030), because it runs on windows,
but in the client side, running pgadmin1.8.2 rev 7050 it seems to hang, it freezes.
Do I need to config anything?

thx

No, but where did you get rev 7050 from? That's quite a few revisions
after 1.8.2 was tagged.

I downloaded it from:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin3/release/v1.8.2/win32/
spaninsh http mirror
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp?file=%2Fpgadmin3%2Frelease%2Fv1.8.2%2Fwin32%2Fpgadmin3-1.8.2-2.zip

Is this version wrong?

No, I forgot it got re-rolled.

Can you supply a debug log showing pgAdmin hanging after you start
debugging? Look under File -> Options -> Logging.

well, when you asked me about where I downloaded it, I downloaded it from I installed it again.
It seems I can debug with no problems till now.
However, when I begin to debug and the function parameters window appears,
if I click cancel it freezes.

the log says:

2008-04-07 11:05:05 STATUS : Obteniendo Función detalles...

Yeah, there is a known issue when doing that. There is a patch being
tested at the moment.

if I try to close the parameter window using X button instead of Cancel, it's the same.
It's a bit annoying when I finnish debugging, but I can debug, so it's fine :)

I will be looking forward new versions.

thanks again Dave

You can use the Lightning Admin win32 debugger, very stable and FREE.
 From my testing it's more stable on win32 than the others, but that
will probably be debated since I am biased.

Anyway I encourage you to check it out at:

Josep,

The stand alone Lightning Debugger does not have this issue and if it
does crash or hang (not likely) it won't take down whatever admin tool
you are
using.  Oh, and it's FREE.

http://www.amsoftwaredesign.com/debugger_client_announce

Check it out works great on win32 and built with a native compiler with
a high performance memory manager.

The edb-debugger is open source??? Or are you just saying that although
the Lightning Admin debugger is not open source it is FREE? (which is
fine of course)

Sincerely,

Yes. The edb debugger is open source (it's on pgfoundry), and the LA
debugger client is free-as-in-beer. You know, kinda like PostgreSQL vs
Oracle Express ;)

Uhmm Oracle Express is crippleware. I don't think Tony's is. I know you
put a wink there but still :)

True point. It's "just a debugger", but as such AFAIK it's feature
complete and not crippled.

Well, not quite the same since  LA Debugger Client is not crippled in
some way Like Oracle or MS SQL Express :-)

It's just plain old freeware.

Later,

Tony

thanks Tony,
I'm going to take a look to it tomorrow morning.
