This page records the enhancements the Babase front end requires, and possibly includes priorities. We can also use it to list front-ends under consideration and their pros and cons.
phpPgAdmin
Needs Work
High priority
- The ability to insert/update/delete the database through views in the same way it can be updated through tables. There are two catageories of functionality here, individual row maintanence and bulk uploads.
- Bulk uploads is useful for the regular addition of data. It can be worked around by programming custom applications for data upload (or by use of the Unix interface, which does allow bulk uploads to views.)
Individual row maintance is useful for manual corrections. It can be worked around by using sql to update the database rather than a [wiki:Graphical_user_interface GUI].
Low priority
- A 'find' feature for the editing and updating of rows.
- Don't show stuff we don't need to see:
- Estimated row count column
- The column with the "Empty" button
- Have the column headings in the SQL output "stick" on the screen.
Done But
What's listed here has been done but is waiting for inclusion in the offical phpPgAdmin code.
- Rapid display of large amounts of information.
- Text output of query results added
- The ability to download data directly from a query without having to load the data into a table first.
- SQL command history.
- COPY TO support in user-supplied SQL.
Unreleased
What's listed here has been included in the official phpPgAdmin code, but has not yet been released to the public.
