PGACCESS 0.3 , 29 September 1997
================================
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 powerfull language, and it took me only
three 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. 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 and the source is located in the PostgreSQL directory
/src/interfaces/libpgtcl. Specifically, you will need a libpgtcl
library that is 'load'-able from tck/tk.
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 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. 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.
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)
Sequences
- define them
- inspect them
- delete them
Views
- defining them saving queries as views
- view them , with filtering and sorting capabilities
- delete them
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.
===========================================================================
You will always find 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 this.

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.
