Hackers

Along with some other folks I am co-authoring a chapter on PostgreSQL
in the next edition of "Database System Concepts" by Silberschatz,
Korth and Sudarshan (http://db-book.com)

This is in the form of a "case study" and will follow the pattern in
Chapters 25,26 and 27 (Part 8 in the Table of Contents available at
the above URL) that deal with Oracle, DB2 and MS SQL Server
respectively.

There are three sections, though, that are non-engine specific: 

 - Database Design and Querying Tools
 - Replication, Distribution and External Data
 - Database Administration Tools

I'm at a loss as to how much we should focus on these sections. Do we
use what's in GBorg ? Do the hackers have any suggestions ? 

There are 33 DBA tools and 19 Design tools in GBorg .. are there any
specific tools that are "recommended" ? 

Suggestions appreciated ..

Well, I think there are really just two major active free database 
administration tools: pgAdmin3 and phpPgAdmin

There's RedHat's java-based stuff too. That's freely downloadable and GPLed 
too IIRC.

I *believe* that CommandPrompt PgManage interface was also released OSS
... ?   That one too was Java based, if I recall correctly ...
