Thread: Client SQL Tool
Hi all,
I’ve started a new codeplex project that could be interesting for you. It’s a simple SQL client for postgreSQL databases.
You can found it here : http://postgresqlclient.codeplex.com/
I’ve started with this project, because i want to improve my WPF skills and create something useful for the postgresql environment.
So, take a look and give me feedback if you like.
Thanks
Björn

How does this client compare to pgAdmin (as a graphical client) or psql (as a client in general)? Josh

I have several postgresql clients that have a similar layout but most are written in scripting languages ( wxpython, tcl/tk ) and one written in Cocoa ( which may or may not still work ). They can typically do stuff like import/export large objects or bytea objects, display pictures and support libraries of sql code fragments. Maybe you can find some good use for the algorithms in the code :) It was fun writing my own tools… Have fun on you voyage :) Jerry
I don't want to replace the other tools. It's just another client for postgreSQL and there is a long road for a release. And yes, it uses .NET 4.0 and WPF. The implementation is more than a little more than simply ADO.NET. The ADO.NET objects only transfer the results to the view. In the backend the sql query is handled as a really SQL statement. But it's ok, if you dont't interested in. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- From: Brandon Phelps Sent: Monday, November 14, 2011 11:48 PM To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Client SQL Tool On 11/14/2011 05:42 PM, John R Pierce wrote: > On 11/14/11 2:32 PM, Josh Kupershmidt wrote: >> How does this client compare to pgAdmin (as a graphical client) or >> psql (as a client in general)? > > its a MS Windows only program using the .NET framework, and it just > executes manually entered SQL commands, displaying the results in a ADO > grid object. > > > *YAWN* > > > Yeah no offense to the author but it looks like this app has a long way to go before it even comes close to being a drop in replacement for pgAdmin, Navicat, etc. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

I believe the idea is not to pit this app against any existing application paid or free. If the idea is to learn the development platform by all means, its your own software, and you should probably go ahead. Then probably posting it here is quite immaterial here .. :) But if the idea is to get communities eyes on the application, it has to interest the community on some level. An exceptional feature, unique use, mass appeal, whatever. No offence, but the base platform isn't always a striking factor. Personally, I don't care if I have a steam-engine under the bonnet as long as it runs like a Ferrari ;) -- Robins Tharakan
