I hope they will forgive me for spending so many -time far from them. - - - -1.Why PgAccess ? - -First of all because PostgreSQL lacks a graphical interface where you -can manage your tables, edit them, define queries, sequences and -functions. - -I use Tcl/Tk because it's a powerful language, and it took me only -four days of hard work to get it as you see it now. - - - -2.How to INSTALL ? - -You will need Tcl/Tk package, I am using now Tcl 7.6 and Tk 4.2. -PgAccess is running fine also on Tcl/Tk 8.0 - -Also, you will need the PostgreSQL to Tcl interface library, lined as a -Tcl/Tk 'load'-able module. It is called libpgtcl and the source is -located in the PostgreSQL directory /src/interfaces/libpgtcl. -Specifically, you will need a libpgtcl library that is 'load'-able from -Tcl/Tk. This is technically different from an ordinary PostgreSQL -loadable object file, because libpgtcl is a collection of object files. - -Under Linux, this is called libpgtcl.so. You will find a pre-compiled -copy of it for Linux i386 systems at : http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess. -Just copy libpgtcl.so into your system library directory /usr/lib or -/lib and go for it. - -Under Windows, copy libpgtcl.dll and libpq.dll into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. -Make sure you have Tcl/Tk at least version 8.0.0 for Microsoft Windows 95 & NT. -PgAccess has been checked with Tcl/Tk 8.0.4 version on Windows95 and Windows98 -platforms. - -Tcl/Tk 8.0.4 for Windows95 & NT can be downloaded from -ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_0/tcl804.exe -It is 1833712 bytes long. - - -3.How to run it? - -You run it with the command: - - wish -f pgaccess.tcl [database] - -[database] is optional. - -Another way of loading the PostgreSQL library is running it with pgwish. -It's a wish compiled with libpgtcl library so it could understand the -commands for working with PostgreSQL. For this, remove the line "load -libpgtcl.so" from the source. If your operating system has a different -library name or location, change the 'load libpgtcl.so' line in the -pgaccess.tcl file. - - -4.What does it now ? - -- Opens any database on a specified host at the specified port, username and password -- Perform vacuum command. -- Saves preferences in ~/.pgaccessrc file - -Tables -- opening multiple tables for viewing, max n records (configurable) -- column resizing by dragging the vertical grid lines -- text will wrap in cells now -- dynamic row height when editing -- table layout saved for every table -- import/export to external files (SDF,CSV) -- filter capabilities ,enter filter like price>3.14 -- sort order capabilities ,enter manually the sort field(s) -- editing in place, double click the text you want to change -- record deleting , point the record, press Del key -- adding new records ,save new row with right-button-click on table for the moment -- table generator assistant -- table renaming and deleting (dropping) -- table information retrieving : owner, field information, indexes - -Queries -- define, edit and store "user defined queries" -- save view layout -- can store queries as views -- execution of queries with optional user input parameters ( select * from invoices where year=[parameter "Year of selection"] ) -- viewing of select type queries result -- running action queries (insert, update, delete) -- visual query builder with drag & drop support, table aliasing - -Sequences -- define -- inspect -- delete - -Views -- defining them saving queries as views -- view them , with filtering and sorting capabilities -- delete them - -Functions -- define , inspect , delete - -Reports -- simple reports from a table (beta stage) -- change font,size and style of fields and labels -- load and save reports from the database -- table previews, sample postscript print - -Forms -- open user defined forms -- form design module available -- query widget allowing access to a record set - -Scripts -- define, modify and call user defined scripts - -5.What it should do in the future ? - -- sequence and function renaming -- more powerful report generator and viewer -- help on line - - - -6. How you should report the errors? -First of all : operating system, PostgreSQL version,Tcl/Tk version. -A more detailed story of what have you done when error had occurred. -Tcl/Tk stops usually with a error message and there is a button there -"Stack Trace" and if you press it, you will see a detailed information -about the place where it stuck. Please send it to me. -Some information about table structure, no. of fields, records would -be also good. - -=========================================================================== -You would find always the latest version at http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess - -Please feel free to e-mail me with any suggestion or bug description -that will help to improve it. - -Constantin Teodorescu - -- 2.40.0
