Thread: pgAdmin v7.0.0 Released
I have just released pgAdmin v7.0.0. pgAdmin is a comprehensive database design and management tool for PostgreSQL that runs under Windows 95/98/NT/2000. It can be downloaded from http://www.pgadmin.freeserve.co.uk/ Note: From pgAdmin v6.5.5, we have used the Microsoft Installer to install pgAdmin. To cut down on unnecessary downloading, we are no longer distributing the installer. If you do not already have it on your system, it can be downloaded from: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/instmsi.htm New features/enhancements include: * Updated for use with PostgreSQL v7.0.0 AND v6.5.x * Now tested for use on Windows 2000. * New splash screen and logo courtesy of Max (max@lpk-computers.co.uk) at LPK Design (http://www.lpk-computers.co.uk). * Added support for creating a 'pseudo-serial' column on a new table. * Updated the graphical design of the Import, Export and Migration Wizards. * Added a 'Log View' text box next to the 'SQL View' that displays the last 32K of log entries. * It is now possible to open multiple SQL dialogues. * Added an 'SQL Wizard' to assist in building SELECT queries in the SQL dialogues. * Fixed bugs in the 'Rename Table' and 'Rename Column' code that attempted to rename even if the same name or a blank name was specified. * Added a 'View Data' button to the View Browser. * Fixed a bug where table data could not be viewed if the table name was mixed case or contained a space. * In the View Data window the data can now be sorted by clicking a column header. * Support for table constraints including UNIQUE, CHECK, PRIMARY KEY & FOREIGN KEY. * Fixed numerous 'bugettes' in the table/index browsers and user manager where it was assumed that the driver 'Bools As Char' option was set. * Removed some irrelevant info fields from the table/index browsers. * The Button Bar can now be 'docked' on either the left or right side of the main window and the SQL Pane at either the top or bottom of the main screen. * Fixed a bug in the table browser where SELECT count(*) was attempted on pg_log, pg_variable and pg_xactlock if selected. * Added Trigger and Function Reports. * Fixed a bug in the Migration Wizard that prevented backslashes in data being migrated. * Updated the vsAdoSelector control as the previous build would not work on a very small number of machines. * Added support for 'Plugin Exporters' to the SQL Output and View Data dialogues: * Added an Exporter Manager dialogue to add remove and view the installed exporters. * Added 'OLE Link to Excel' and 'Basic HTML' exporters. * Included the source code to the Basic HTML exporteras an example for other developers. * Altered the Button Bar so that the text colour is the Active Titlebar Text colour and not permanently white. * Fixed the form resize code on numerous dialogues that gave an error if they were maximised.

Sounds great. I'd like to have a little bit of mention of pgadmin in
the Postgres docs. Could I include the first couple of paragraphs from
this release announcement? Or do you have some other (short?) doc
which would be a good intro and point to the right places?

When I installed pgAdmin with MS Installer (version 1.10.1029.1), I was not given the option to select the target directory (such as would be the case with, say, InstallShield). Instead, it forces the installation into "C:\Program Files\Vale Software". Is this the normal behaviour? If so, any reason why I am restricted to using this directory? Thanks for the info.

Force of habit I'm afraid! All of our in house software is forced under the Vale Software directory - this helps my staff and I keep all our users' PC's fairly uniform in configuration. It's a good point though, and as pgAdmin is used far more widely outside of here, I will change this behaviour for v7.0.1.
