Hi all!

I'm thinking about starting a (serius) project to
bring a good graphical interface to the administration
and operation of postgresql, similar to what other
databases have.

The goal is to be able to do all the administrative
work of postgres in a single program. It would
include manage databases, tables, users, privileges
..., see/alter table contents, start/stop the
server(s), configure postgres, manage backups, have a
good SQL console, monitorize the backends, ...

As you can see it would be a superset of the pgaccess
capabilities but backwards compatible with it.
The program would be done in Java/Swing, being
automaticaly portable. The license would be the
license of PostgreSQL itself.

The cuestion is: Is there any posibility of such a
beast being ever included in the standard distribution
of PostgreSQL, if it prove util, well designed and
rock-solid, or it would not be accepted like a
standard add-on by the PostgreSQL hacker comunity?
(perhaps Java/Swing not acceptable, ...)

Thank you.

Pedro Abelleira Seco

Universal admin frontend
Well, there is something called druid which almost works with postgres, some
of the problems are related to the jdbc driver not being complete.

Also there is pgAdmin which is windows specific.

Re: Universal admin frontend

something like this, web based, would be most cool ... have to be able to
monitor multiple port/backends too ...

How about phppgadmin? I haven't checked in depth but it seems to be able to
do quite a lot of these.
