PGACCESS 0.3 , 29 September 1997
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1.Why PGACCESS ?
|
||||
|
||||
First of all because PostgreSQL lacks a graphical interface from within
|
||||
you could manage your tables, edit them, define queries, sequences and
|
||||
functiones more simple than in psql.
|
||||
In Tcl/Tk because it's a powerfull language, and it tooks me only 3 days
|
||||
of hard work to get it like you see it.
|
||||
It's for free! Probably I should enter here that kind of text that says
|
||||
that is GNU-like license or whatsoever.
|
||||
Let's say :
|
||||
If PostgreSQL and Linux are for free, so PGACCESS should be.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2.How to INSTALL ?
|
||||
|
||||
You will need Tcl/Tk package, I am using now Tcl 7.6 and Tk 4.2. There
|
||||
are some problems running under Tcl/Tk 8.0 but I will soon fix them.
|
||||
Also, you will need the PostgreSQL to Tcl interface library. It is
|
||||
called libpgtcl.so and because most of the people asked for it, I
|
||||
will supply a version compiled for 6.2 along with theese files.
|
||||
It is compiled and it's working on my system, a RedHat 4.2 Linux on
|
||||
Pentium machine.
|
||||
Just copy libpgtcl.so into your system library director (/usr/lib) and
|
||||
go for it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3.How to run it?
|
||||
|
||||
You run it with the command :
|
||||
wish -f pgaccess.tcl
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4.What does it now ?
|
||||
|
||||
Opens any database on a specified host at the specified port.
|
||||
|
||||
Tables
|
||||
- opening tables for vieweing, max 200 records
|
||||
- column resizing by dragging the vertical grid lines
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
- table generator assistant lizzard :-) (not wizzard)
|
||||
- table renaming and deleting (dropping)
|
||||
Queries
|
||||
- define, edit and store "user defined queries"
|
||||
- can store queries as views
|
||||
- execution of queries
|
||||
- vieweing of select type queries result
|
||||
- running action queries (insert, update, delete)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5.What it should do in the future ?
|
||||
|
||||
- table design (add new fields, renaming, etc)
|
||||
- script execution (simple SQL commands)
|
||||
- function manipulation (defining, vieweing)
|
||||
- a simple 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 occured.
|
||||
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 stucks. Please send it to me.
|
||||
Some information about table structure, no. of fields, records would
|
||||
be also good.
