Graphical database maintenence design tool
Peter Cordone <pcordone@ee.net> — 1998-06-03T00:39:41Z
I am new to Postgres and somewhat new to Linux and Unix. I am trying to find a graphical tool that I can use to do my database table design, in XWindows or one that I can run in Microsoft Windows NT over my network. Can anyone suggest anything?

There are several in existence. pgaccess is raved about, and comes wiht the distribution in the src/bin directory. If you looked at http://www.postgresql.org/cd-dist.shtml, there are links to various third-party interfaces that are included on the CD, with two more being added shortly... Marc G.

It is a Tcl/Tk application, and is reminiscent of Access, but is a front end to Postgres (you would use pgaccess instead of psql). Another option is to install the PostODBC drivers and use Access itself (or something similar) to use under Windows and connect to the server. A quick and dirty method is to create your tables with psql, input the data into an Access database, and then import the data into postgres. Brett W.

There are also quite a few Java JDBC Applications out there that will run on both Linux and NT without recompiling. Check on www.gamelan.com I know of two works in progres for Postgresql: WIDD by Nicolas Prochazka <nprochaz@etu.info.unicaen.fr> is in its early stages, but it looks pretty good. It can handle the display of large objects, and sql queries open up browser windows. Finder by me is a little larger, but it's primarily an Astronomical application, with some PostgreSQL management functions, and the ability to display query results in both tabular and graphical forms. -- Peter T Mount peter@retep.org.uk or petermount@earthling.net Main Homepage: http://www.retep.org.uk ************ Someday I may rebuild this signature completely ;-) ************ Work Homepage: http://www.maidstone.gov.uk Work EMail: peter@maidstone.gov.uk

Check on www.gamelan.com Peter, I remember you gave me the same answer a while ago, but frankly, I've been roaming around gamelan lately (after my attempt with pgAccess failed), and I didn't see anything which fits the description. I saw a few tools which, from the descriptions, are nothing more than places to insert a query and see the results. If you're lucky, you see the results graphically. I just wonder if there's any took I've skipped, or if I looked in the wrong place at gamelan. Do you have any actual name of any software (preferable not commercial) which you know does it?

I think most of them are just that - enter a query and get the results out. > Do you have any actual name of any software (preferable not commercial) > which you know does it? I can't remember what it was called, but I did see one that did allow some administration a while back. I'll try to dig it up. -- Peter T Mount peter@retep.org.uk or petermount@earthling.net Main Homepage: http://www.retep.org.uk ************ Someday I may rebuild this signature completely ;-) ************ Work Homepage: http://www.maidstone.gov.uk Work EMail: peter@maidstone.gov.uk
