Thread: postgreSQL editors
Hi, can anyone recommend a good editor for postgreSQl wich wil enable me to create functions/stored procedures? I am currently running version 7.4.1 on OS X 10.3 regards Uzo
I currently use XCode from Apple (their free development environment). I create sql scripts which I then either execute directly in psql or copy and paste into an open psql session for small changes.

You can get the ANSI SQL glossary for highlighting, and although it won't pick up PostgreSQL-specific extensions to SQL, it will highlight the majority of the syntax. Also has great grep (including savable search patterns), Applescript, FTP, CVS, and shell script support, if those things interest you. I write most of my SQL in it before feeding the file to psql or just copying and pasting the commands into phppgadmin or psql directly. Michael Glaesemann grzm myrealbox com

I would have to agree with EMS-HiTech's product also. A feature rich,
product, very responsive tech support/bug report. PGManager beats the
competition hands down.

TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
Hi, thanks for the responses to my original question. i have decided to use phpPgAdmin for my database development. I have created the following function: create function GetEmployees() returns setof employee as 'select * from employee;' language 'sql'; With phpPgAdmin you can define the top and bottom lines of your function using the options available (Name, Arguments, Returns,Programming language). Now the section that is throwing me at the moment is the reyurns section. You have 2 drop down boxes, the first enables you to select setof and the second provides you with a long list. So basically I chosse a name for the function, provide 'text' as an argument to my function, select setof from the first drop down box and plpgsql as my programming language. how do I set the 'employe part of the function from the drop down list? 'returns setof xxxx, xxxx being the option i need to select from the drop down list which is defaulted to "SET". regards Uzo On 31 Dec 2003, at 19:57, Andy Lewis wrote: > I would have to agree with EMS-HiTech's product also.

I didn't notice an OS X version on their website. Do they have one? On Dec 31, 2003, at 12:57 PM, Andy Lewis wrote: > I would have to agree with EMS-HiTech's product also.
